I did the first and last time, first time spun and wheel hopped like crazy. Last time was a 13.88 @ 102.86 2.12 60ft, ONe other think first 2 pases, it felt like the car just layed over like it was on the rev limiter but it didnt feel like the limiter just felt like our of gas on a carb. last time it didnt do it and ran its best mph.. It didnt shift to 4th any run that i could tell.

Yep, you definitely have to run the 1/4 with ESP off. You have to "roll into" the throttle. Give as much throttle (until you go WOT) while creating as little wheel spin as possible.

I use to notice (without a proper tune for shifting) that the car would tend to stall on the 3rd->4th shift under WOT. For a stock car, or lightly modded car, I would race in sport mode and hold 3rd through the line.

Yeah don't run with T/C on.

Not a bad run with T/C on though.

Why not TC on? My 1/8th times are better (on a crappy track) with TC on. 60ft close to 2.0
Is it the 1-2 gear change that is affected by TCS? I can feel the power being reeled in at this point with TCS on.
