Hmmm, your first question is a bit too vague--are you asking how to have the car hold 2nd longer in auto-mode?

To your second question: launch control, race gas and a tune.

My car doesn't auto-shift "UP" when in manual mode so I've no idea how to help you--are you sure yours does this?

I use comfort suspension since it allows the car to squat on its rear tires which tends to reduce hop. As for traction, I turn off traction control since it tends to intercede too aggressively.

just curious, do you use sport+ most of the time to get the best 0-60 etc ? I prefer sport+ and then sport. Not really using race mode too often.

I use individual mode with comfort suspension. See above why.
