No matter what I do I just can't seem to find the sweet spot between the clutch and the throttle where the tires hook up. I'm either spinning or I'm bogging it right as I get the clutch out. 2.4 60' times almost the entire night. I managed a single 2.3. And I turned TC on as a test and got a 2.2.
Kinda getting a little discouraged. Mishri has a pussy auto and the same setup as I do except he has 4.10 gears and UDP,CMDP. Same stock tires. No problems getting 2.1 60' times for him.
I'll give this one more shot but I'm getting to the point where if I can't get this down then I think it's getting close to where I need to make a decision. Do I want better times at the drag strip or do I want the fun of driving a manual car? It's looking like I'm no AmericanSpeed.  |
Looks like that "pussy" auto is kicking your arse in consistency
That's the big advantage of them at the track.
