yes, they launch very well....I was at a test and tune at US41...not a private track day...I lined up against a gas class '56 blown Chevy...a couple of the guys there with Eurocharged were sitting in the stands. A guy next to them, said look at the old guy in the sports car, he's about to get his clock cleaned. Well, we launched, he and his slicks and all, me with street tires...he's pulls the front wheels, we are side by side for 60', he pulls ahead by the 1/8, and is gone after that....the guy in the stands, turns and says, did you see that?.....lol
