Laying Tracks of Rubber II
My tires are bald so I figured I would lay some more rubber from a start by power braking and releasing off of the line. I let up at the end as the car started to swing out as you can see from the track line. The results are attached and easier to see than my previous post. Good times.

Are you letting the upshift, or just keeping in first?

I keep it in automatic mode while I power-brake a controlled spin for a few seconds and then I floor it and let the tires spin until the car starts to go sideways. I then let off of the gas.

New Tires & Laying Rubber
New tires on and clear road so I figured it was a good time to power brake a burn-out. Measured 178 ft before let off the gas as started to go sideways. This seems pretty constant.
