1)turn TC off
2)roll through the water box a foot or so and do a small 3-4 second burnout and drive out of it.
3)turn TC on.
4)Go to the staging lines, put the car in neutral, rev it once or twice.
5)put in Drive, make sure you are in M or S.
6)get revs to about 1500, get ready for the second yellow and go. Don't mash the gas right off the line, give it 1/2 throttle for the first 30-40 feet, then let her rip.
7)report back here with your times.

1. Use BF's Drag Radials 265/40 18
2. Hold the TC for 10sec
3. 10sec burn-out
4. Get on the line, make sure it's on S mode and on 1st gear, hold the brake pedal and take it up to 1,000rpm.
5. When the last yellow turns off the brake pedal and hammer down.

Manuel

So does actually holding down the TC button do anything?
