Best Way Off The Line? (Auto Trans)

Bonzo

Okay you track guys and gals, I've never posted in this section because, well, I don't race. But I figured since my question was regarding off the line performance, you folks would be the experts to ask this question to.

First, my car is my daily driver that I just use to have as much street fun as possible. Performance wise it's 100% stock, Sport with automatic. I'm currently up to just over 5000 miles.

For the last few months when I get the chance, I have been punching it off the line at the light just to see how it goes. I've tried different techniques, some with success, and some with failures (mostly due to the traction control I think). So far I think my best runs/pulls have been in manual mode, but without anyone actually timing me it's hard to say. I've also never dragged anyone yet, so I have zero measurements or references to go by.

I just finally got to thinking this morning that I wonder what the other guys are doing? I wonder what the best method (technique) really is? So I figured I'd ask you. [Of course you can flame me or dig me or rag on me all you want I guess for not knowing already. I'm a big boy, i can take it. And I'm sure there are other threads out there answering this question already, so consider me lazy for not spending an hour looking.] I was just looking for some Z expert advice to get the best jump so I don't embarrass our Z community when I'm up against a Camaro or Mustang or something.

Thanks for your advice / input.

Cheers ---- Bonzo
