1. Bring car to a complete stop
2. Move gear shifter to D in auto mode
3. Press Sport Plus button
4. Foot on brake
5. Gas pedal down all the way, revs will hit 5,500 (LC indicated on dash)

Let off on brake

Bring Charmin

Off will have you going sideways. I've tried both at the track and on the street. This car can light them up at the top of first after you thought you had hooked up just fine.

Also - turn the suspension to comfort to help with traction.

I love forums. I race my car on a regular basis, and I have never been able to break my tires loose, let alone go sideways. My cars running 700hp and won't go sideways in the rain. Even if you were having traction issue due to bad surface conditions, you'll always be better off modulating the throttle manually. Leaving traction control on will definitely produce slower 0-60 times. Anybody that races their car in a drag format would agree.

I agree , I have never broken tires loose. with TC off, but some tire slip can be very noticeable. My best time have always been when drag strip is just prep.

You hit sport plus before stopping at the line and as you are rolling toward the line you retract your spoilers correct? And you turn traction control off?

This video of my white 991 TTS is using launch control with TC off. No squealing tires, no loss of control, just raw acceleration!
