Haha, I figured it was operator error somewhere

. Glad you got it figured out though Tasho3, always fun to do at a stoplight and have people looking around like "WTF is that and why is it so angry".

It definitely is fun and thank you for trying to help.

Although my car still spins somehow all the way through 40 mph. Left two very long marks on the parking lot at work.

No answer?

Does the 2009 have the launch control setup?

10 C six trizzle

i figured i'd add to this since no one mentioned it. Make sure fluids are warmed up - it may let you do it without but thats just a bad idea. Also i've experienced problems in doing it if the service is past due/exceeded by time or mileage - only on some cars at certain intervals. I saw someone mentioned the steering wheel must be straight and that is very improant. These are just things to consider if anyone else has issues.
