It pulls the car into another dimension. The transmission can't handle the forces this dimension puts on it.

It acts just like a Flux Capacitor...

Nissan didn't take it into account..

Launch Control is considered to be harnessed raw powah. The magnitude of it's power cannot be contained, so Nissan had to drop it. The only car company to harness raw powah was Delorean Motor Company. The world couldn't handle it so they went belly up. Doc Brown is the last owner of a Delorean. He now travels through time using the launch control feature. Hope I helped.

Launch control was developed by mad scientist on hallucinogen drugs.

Since hallucinogen drugs are bad, launch control is bad.

There have been recent studies that link the GTR's launch control with the declining economy.

Ill help you out. Its done like this. You turn the VDC off and press on the brakes. With the brakes pressed, you mash the gas to the floor. The car will rev to 4500rpm. Then just release the brakes and there you have it. Launch control. Nissan came out with a reflash to change the launch control from 4500 to 3500rpm. Seach some gtr forums and you will see

I have a launch control system on my John deer riding lawn mower. You should see me tear up the driveway after a good grass cutting.
