Exclamation emergency brake light

has anyone else noticed when the have a hard launch from first gear that there e-brake light comes on until the car levels back out. my buddy told me that what he thinks it is is the brake fluid is just shifting in the reservoir. wow that spelling really doesn'tlook right.

I had the same problem and it only happened when it was really cold outside. It is most likely the fluid level. Easily fixed with new SS brake lines, hawk pads, drilled/slotted rotors, and some high-end fluid purge.
