Default is this how to do it????

this may seem like a stupid question, but i was wondering how to race an A4? Do you just put it in the highest gear or do u start at a low gear and shift up to the highest gear??

You can't outshift a computer. Put the car in drive and stand on it. Get an HPP 3 or LS1 Edit if you want to raise the shift points of your car.

Depends on the kind of racing you do. If you are the track 1/4 mile racing your consistency counts more than ET. I have seen many a 17 second and slower car win the ETK bracket due to consistency. Having an M6 (which I have) does offer you greater control over gear choice but with the right converter/tuning and gearing an A4 can be equally as stout.
