I know because LC puts you right up near the 3K point where the HP/TQ comes in along with allowing you to build that all that boost. But you can tell they didn't use launch control in this video. He barely brake torqued it before they set off. In this kind of instance the Alfa is better as it hits it's 0-60 numbers with just plain brake torquing. The X3M needs it's LC to hit 0-60 numbers near the Alfa. It's a bit slower if you can't use it. I do agree the M off the line as a bit delayed though.
