How to launch the C55?
I'm taking my car to the Drag Strip tonight to see what kind of numbers I'll pull pre-Kleemann. I'd greatly appreciate if you guys could share various launching/shifting techniques for our c32/c55 car. I'm very familiar with shifting and launching a manual tranny car, but obviously that doesn't apply with our cars.
Thanking you in advance.
