How to launch a car

I know it is just me but I am sure there is just a hint of open space under the front left tire.

One thing more clear are the flames from the 1st/2nd shift.

1/2 was a slight missed shift.

Manual shifting as the car revs too fast to be in auto.

Have u ever tried C mode ? It launches in 2nd gear but the shifts are slower and will deft hit the rev limiter, what I did from time to time was launch in 2nd gear in C and then change it to M on the fly. (U car might be to fast to change on the fly)
Maybe Weistec can program u M to start in 2nd gear like In C that would win u some ET time but u 60 foot won't be as good.

haters crazy
Nice launch

I personally would not launch a car in second gear unless you had major traction issues in first and that doesn't seem to be the case. I bet that car revs real fast and hard to time the shifts

Nope 2nd gear runs mean you have to work on your suspension.
