Anything with BOOST
At the dragstrip your going to want to stage the car properly by shutting off the ESP and by placing the car in 'S' mode. Powerbrake the car just prior to rear tires breaking traction. Once the last yellow bulb is lit, let it loose.
Even though burnouts in the box are crowd pleasers, as long as your on stock rubber I would suggest light burnout on the inside edge of the box (closest to the tree) and complete the burnout on the dryside. This will help you avoid bringing in water into the tires and up to the light. Stock tires aren't designed to need additional heat to provide maximum traction.
Hope this helps.

a car without LSD can't really do much of a burnout anyway whether their on stock tires or not correct?
is it plausible to say that shifting perfectly in M mode can yield a better time than in S mode?

inconsistant and when you change in the paddle it takes like 1 hour to change. the change is fast,but the time to understand that you want another gear... welll what a LAG!... WHY??
