2. Once you stop revving, Place car in D stomp on the gas with VDC ON the first gear. While in second quickly take VDC OFF and shift into third gear. Make sure you redline the first 4 gears but prevent over-revving.

You don't need all that brake drama. It will slow you down. If you want? You can do a burn out to heat up the tires before following my instructions. But that gas brake shyt will actually slow u down.
That's a lot of steps to do within a few secs,

But you get a good jump off the line with little initial wheel spin and a high torque hit & the same time. it has done pretty good against v8's.

It's really not though. I'm just being descriptive.

There is nothing wrong with you or your car. If you car has "D" gear then you made a mistake
