regards sonny

DON'T use manual mode.


Keep the car in sport mode, ESP off. When you come up to the start, hit the shifter DOWN, it will put the tranny into Auto-sport, but it will ONLY shift at redline. This enables you to feather first gear off the line but still shift perfect every time at red line.

Get some different tires. Hooiser A6 worked well for me, they are soft when hot and have a 40 treadwear. Do a good burnout with them to get them nice and sticky. The Kuhmos won't provide near enough traction for the strip.
