2013 shelby launch control on GT

I was wondering if you can put the 2013 shelby gt500 launch control system on the mustang gt to make it launch faster

MT ET drag radials & side step the clutch. More effective and more practical.

Pretty rough on your drivetrain though.

All my times have been faster without using launch control. I just feel like I'm in a rush to get it set up when I'm at the line

As for the original question- is this all software based? I assume the shelby launch control is managed through the abs system, no?

If that's the case, is there any hope of "unlocking" this functionality in the stock ECU?
