How to & Demo of GM’s Launch Control & No Lift Shift in a ZR1 Corvette and the ZL1 Camaro. We tested out the capabilities of the GM launch control & no lift shift on a modded ZR1 (15lbs pullies & full exhaust) and a stock ZL1 Camaro a while back and wanted to show you how it performed.

In the end, the launch control was fairly useless on the ZR1 because it needs some better tires for the power it has, but the no lift shift was a blast, especially when it came to the sound!

We hadn’t seen a how-to video that explained it that well, so we decided to make our own! Enjoy!

  1. For the young guys: Shifting without letting off the accelerator pedal was called power shifting back in the day and you don't need modern tech or rev limiters to do it. You just shift at full throttle and do it quick. You get a feel for it. Some people are too slow and float valves but I have no lift shifted my 91 Cherokee, 94 Z28, 73 Trans Am, 97 ranger 4cyl and I'm sure I'm missing some that weren't mine or something. lol When somebody is next to you and you are trying to go as fast as you can it just happens… for me. can't help it.

  2. how does the transmission handle the gas being all the way to the floor with out letting out. this is mind blowing 😯

  3. Have you experimented with the different PTM Modes for drag race launches ?  Any one mode better than another to get these things launched ?  One guy posted that he got his best times at the drag strip with Mode 4.

  4. Great video and very helpful with knowing how to launch. In the ZL1 owners manual, it says that Sport Mode 4 is better because it allows more engine power. Sport Mode 5 is the best for the drag strip. With that said, why did you use Tour Mode 2?

  5. My fucking dream car that fucking zr1 the king of the hill merica baby👍👍👍☝️☝☝💪💪💪💪🚀🚀🚀

  6. For the people that dont understand:
    With the no lift shift system you are keeping your foot on the gas all the way to the floor the whole time.
    Whenever you need to shift all you do is simply leave your foot on the gas, push in the clutch, and shift quickly.
    You do not have to take your foot off the gas the whole time.

  7. Please no more posts about chevy cobolts!!!!! And by the way not only will a Zr1 beat a Zl1 but a Z06 will beat a Zl1… so with that said this video was never about which car was faster, that is already obvious… but its about shifting : )

  9. Watching this this just makes me want to do my project even more..which is bring the powerplant with a procharger and launch control over to a 2003 crew cab Chevy 2500 with a 3 inch lift… Some people think its stupid j think it'd be a fun daily driver

  10. After listening to these runs, it sounds like the engine cuts out at the 4300rpm point rather than holds at that rpm during the shift. Is that the case? If so, you would lose rpm and power until it came back when the clutch was released, therefore defeating the advantage you want to achieve.
    Maybe I'm being fooled by the sound, but it doesn't sound like a stick shift car being "power shifted" without the electronic aids.
    In the ideal stick shift scenario, the driver shifts at the peak power rpm point as the clutch is disengaged. The engine then revs past that point, (but not past the redline), then is brought back down by the clutch engaging in the next gear.
    This way you spend the maximum amount of time at power peak, but risk over-revving if you miss a shift.
    I think the idea of these electronics preventing over revving the engine is great if they can be tuned correctly to achieve the desired result. It just doesn't sound right in this video.
