Then I gave launch control another shot. In sport, competition mode. Mash brake, mash gas.

Here's the result. Pretty stoked. I also tried competition mode, and just a little brake, about 1k rpms and almost ended up facing the wrong way on the road, so I can confirm that launch control is active and keeps you pointing straight when it is engaged (see the 1.2 second 0-60 run, needed to change my shorts there).

Launch control.......ok
Sport mode......ok. First or 2nd gear, Manual shift or drive?

How consistent is it?

2nd gear launches were in manual mode. Traction control on fully. Just mash gas. Consistently in the 4.2 to 4.6 range.

Launch control once. 3.5. Sport mode. Mash brake. Mash gas. Hold the f on.

So you never tried a 2nd gear start while in competitive mode?

The car won't allow you it will surge between idle and 1500

I didn't mean a launch control start, just not with TC on, load up the converter slightly and then floor it.

I tried this. I dont think its any faster as the tires still break loose easily.

Are you on stock tires still?

Edit: Just read your thread stating you're on 305 MPSS. Good to know, I'm still waiting for the snow to go away up here before I can play again.

When you mashed brake and the gas it actually held you? I have a whipple on mine and it blows through the brakes still and starts to spin... i have toyo proxxies now 305s and same thing. Pretty sad buddies stock new manual stang will beat me off the line everytime due to wheel spin

Get a good torque converter if you have an A-10
