Sport mode and roll into the throttle to help with the spin.

You probably won't like the manual way of doing it so Sport mode is the better choice. You just have to learn to feather it

turn traction control off, use manual mode hold the brake and give slight gas. Once the light turns green give half throttle shift to third then full throttle!

Let the car shift, manual mode is useless.

I found it is helpfull from a roll of like 40 or 50 mph where you put it in third and slam the gas then put it back to normal. It gets rid of the downshift problem...of course this is with a completely stock car. I also see better mileage when shifting in manual mode.

When racing manual mode is useless. That's is what Tom is talking about.
