That would be a good idea and hopefully if he does start to spin and not stay straight you just slingshot out in front quickly. Remember, keep it in S mode but click it down to 2nd gear to start and it will shift from there.

I ran a New GT500 with my old car (335i) we were pretty Dead even 40-120mph - he slowly pulled 1 CL on me till 150 . All he had was a axle-back exhaust. My car was HEAVILY modded.

You sure you ran a 2013 GT500? No way a modified 335 would hang up to 120. I have a 2013 GT500 and it's a monster. The 13's hook up a lot better than the old ones.

Started in second gear. Last run I turned traction control off, seemed to fair a little bit better. Most of the runs were between 50-60mph, I may have hung for a little longer from a 20mph roll. Dont mind the cars on the highway it was dumb for sure.
