I get it tue/thur and every other weekend, never had a car that had a 'launch mode'
Turn on traction control and R mode
hold brake with left foot
throttle quick to floor and let up, engine will tach up
3 seconds to release break to launch
must have seatbelt on for mode to work

That is actually my dream car, if I had 123 billion dollars that would still be in my top 10 cars to buy first and probably one of the daily drivers.
That car is alot of bang for the buck.
get the launch control all figured out and some practice and let me know how she does against anything...even a ZR1 corvette would be a good race.
thats a car right there....
IIRC its 0-60 in 3.3 seconds
around a 10 second run on a 1/4 mile
pretty good for a factory stock Nissan
retail is what.....70 grand?
Thats pretty good if you ask me. (speed Vs. Price for a factory car)

^Sounds like it's only when launching. But who repeatedly launches their car anyways? Not even in drag racing would you be cycled so fast that you are forced to launch repeatedly.

Launch issues were in the older models. If u look at the real numbers it was in the 1% range. 0-60 in the high 2's is tough on anything. Car is a lease and u cannot launch without vdc and r now. ( directions are even in the manual now, not sure about before)

Appreciate it, I am sorta shellshocked on motorcycles. Call me a wimp but most of what I deal with, this time of year,are the results of not keeping the shiny side up.
