I will have to disagree about the M/T DRs not liking a big burnout.. A local guy is friends with the originator of the M/T DR design and he was told that they need to be heated just like a slick and that in most cases a good burnout is needed.. I know first hand that on 3-4 of my friends cars you have to get them good and hot for them to work to their full potential. Yes your car could be different, but thats just my first hand experience with the tires. Of course, 2-3 of my friends are running 5/6spds so that could be the difference.
