So go out there and practice your burnout technique. This also applies to your tire pressures and launch rpms. Experiment and find what works for you, this is how a true racer does it. 
I was hoping to break into the 11's on my 3rd time out at the strip. I guess I need to be patient. With 413 rwhp, Nittos and a Spec 3, I know I should be able to do it.
Thanks all. Wish me luck!
ok for those that claim they hook the car with no burnout on a DR, let's hear some sixty foot times...and M6 or A4.
I'm sorry, but its common knowledge that a DR, especially a Nitto, needs to get hot to stick..and no not in the waterbox of course..DR burnouts should be done right on the edge of the box, not fully in the water..
