stock tires.
the best way to launch this car is power brake till 1200rpm (in streets) and dont full floor the car, let the car catch up to speed till full blast.
stock tires.
at track put your tire at 28 psi and power brake till 2000rpm and full blast after take off.
i have over 20 runs in this car at the drag strip. .

oh yea mickey toms work amazing with this car. i just got a pair and holy***** they are great, if you or anyone else will buy does tires you will never go back to other ones.

R&T says: Disable ESP, preload to 1000, shift manually, release brake and gradually (feathering) add power = 0-60 4.1

I assume power braking is holding down the brake while pushing the gas? I've seen vids of this (with the rear wheels spinning and the front wheels staying put). I assumed that holding the brake and pushing the gas would lock all 4 wheels, not just the fronts.

How does this work?
