My best time so far has been accompanied by a 2.2 short time...I won't be going back to the track until the weather cools off so it's gonna be a while before I see if I can get any better.

To better tracks where they're prepped well, are 2.5-3 hour drives. One I was netting 2.05/6 60 foots on all seasons, but only running 1/8th mile.

LOL nice, I'm actually in the Concord area. I work an exit away off highway 680 from that Hilton in Pleasant Hill. I haven't had her on the dyno rollers yet nor tuned; so I'm anxious to see what improvements I can make with DR's or a tune. I can only imagine 1st gear without torque management.

How is the TC managed on these cars? I always turn mine off because I was so used to doing it in my VW. That car was drive by wire and it automatically limited the throttle which in a turbo killed the boost. Someone told me the TC on these cars was somehow done using the brakes which I don't understand.

My antiscore and torque management are GONE. Never looked back!

stock 2-3 shift in auto is way to early. I think its at 5400. You need 5950 realistically.
And this helped me a lot. Enjoy!
