If you don't want the hassle of changing the ECU for a standalone, Racelogic used to do a traction control system with launch control.
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

In my humble opinion, launch control on a Coupe is pretty pointless - you’re always going to be hampered by the fwd layout
If you want epic launches, buy a 4wd. If you want your Coupe to be quicker off the mark, fit a proper slippy diff and the best tyres you can find.
The Coupe is not about 0-60, it’s more about 30-100 (ie that ‘magic’ third gear)
PS, if you still want to go down the route of ECU-controlled launch control, I believe Motec do an ECU with a 5-pot option

Nail on the head there, was only just having this conversation with a chap earlier on today.
