You need to leave it in sport and let the car shift. Then when you hit 3rd gear put the shifter into manual mode and pull back on it so it holds 3rd gear thru the traps. It's been proven sport mode is better then manual mode. Should pick up a tenth or two by doing this im guessing.Originally Posted by glhsken

Leave it in Sport and let it shift itself w/ traction control off, you cant hold
3rd gear it will hit the limiter @ about the 1000ft mark around 95-100 mph cant remember exact mph. My best run so far was a low 70's day w/ DA of
8**ft, I want to try for some 12.60's when we get some -DA's in October - November before I do any mods.

Will do. So you have done nothing at all to the car.... Impressive
Best thing is the exhaust note. Took a buddy for a ride blasted by in front of staff conference room at work. Ceo asked me if I had let someone take it out for a spin (his car is a Jag XF).. Asked if he saw the car go by, response... It was gone too quick, we heard it.
