    you can "torque launch" the car by holding the brake pedal and gas at the same time. this will built boost on the line and load up the tires/suspension for launch.

    the 2.76 60' time could only be attributed to easing off the line very slowly and not really getting into it, because that car should pull an easy 2.4 or so just by flooring it from the get-go... the auto tranny would keep traction and not require any special pedalwork to keep it going. going on the same numbers, the biggest problem sounds like your right foot over anything else.

    Very well said... Just remember that "practice makes perfect".... Now that your living in my area you are a hell of a lot closer to the track. That means you dont have any reason not to be nailing the tree...Hit me up if you wanna practice some launches...
