Building Boost at a standstill with Launch Control

I was just wondering if you could build boost at a stand still with the Launch Control feature. I just bought my Cobalt and havent taken it to the track to find out yet.

not the stock launch control. It's just basically a rev limiter type launch control. You would need a true anti lag launch control setup to build boost at launch, which the car really doesn't need because it already has enough traction issues as is. You would just spin a whole lot more that's why the car is setup to limit boost in first gear.

Yeap, but if you really wanted to and were good with the cobalt pedal assembly, you could slip the clutch while holding the brake. Either that or an N2MB WOT box.
