I actually am hold til I get my extended studs I got some new rims and fitting them has been a night mare. It looks like I'll be out for the season.

Well getting better but my fastest 60 ft is now 2.1. I need to figure out how everyone is hitting those 1.9 stock. I did get some all season tires so it will be interesting how those work. I have been using all the modes and mode 2 does work the best. My mph fastest mph is 117. I still need more practice feathering. I wish I could see somes rpms while there driving. Also I'm pretty sure the problem was me not heating the tires enough. Are you guys doing long burnouts to heat the tires? I'm just doing a quick one.

I shift pretty fast and I'm able to finally use the no lift shift. Car now has 8000 miles on it.

PTM 2 is keeping you from spinning with traction control so that's probably why you did better. My best 60' was 1.9 on stock tires using launch control in PTM 5. I'm probably not going back until I get DR's on and just turn it all off. The 18" ZL1 replica wheels coming next month are on my list.
