Launch control destroys transmissions. Just because the computer is doing a neutral drop instead of you doesn’t change the Physics of what’s happening when you run your rpm’s up and slam the fly wheel and torque converter together.
Quick how it works if you are interested:

I do remember hearing somewhere that launch control on the GTR will void its warranty. Pretty silly to include a feature that you can't even reliably use 
Something else I've always wondered... When they publish these crazy 0-60 times for cars, are they using some form of launch control, or just goosing it?

To the best of my knowledge (personal expérience) on my IS200t, to build up boost, so to speak, rev to 3.5k to 4k rpm and hold the brakes. Disable TC first before all these and then release the brakes when you are ready to go... that minimizes the turbo lag. Turn off AC, if you believe that will help... and lose the spare tire.

Even the lower HP Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ come standard with a LSD.
