Now that'different
"Jeep's launch control is standard on SRT8s for consistent, enhanced fast starts of the high-performance SUV. Launch Mode brings the engine, suspension, transmission and driveline together for fast launches from a standstill by revving the engine at a standstill and launching the 5,000-pound SUV like a rocket." ![]()

The transmission instructor at the Chrysler training center told us about this being played with by the engineers about 5 years ago.
Probably took that long to clear legal ! Electronically controled trans would be simple to program a transbrake feature into ,along with a rev limiter/ traction control with the drive by wire system . SRT Jeeps were my favorite road test !
