Do they still have that on TV, yeah I know off topic
Ya I think so... at 10am in the morning... just a couple weeks ago our company gathered 25 people who were interested in going to go. They usually pick one person out of a large group to go up on stage. I think last year one person from our company won couple thousand dollars.

Getting back to the topic, I tried to do another launch last night. It would appear that I lost my launch control feature again! 
I bounced off the rev limiter and the car didn't shift for me.
1. DTC/DSC off
2. Sport on
3. Manual mode
I realized that I was in Auto mode Sunday morning when I got 5.7. Last night I remembered to put the car in Manual mode which would've given me a faster time.

Hmmm... Let's see:
1 gallon = 8.4 pounds
3/4 tank on a 17 gallon = 12.75
---------------------------------------
107 + 95 = 202. Impressive.
Alright, gotta ditch the g/f the next time I launch. Also, 1/4 tank of gas.

1. Dump the spare tire. Another 30 lbs saving right there.
2. Minimize outwear for yourself. Save 3 lbs
3. Do not eat for at least 12 hours, and you need to dump all your intake
. Save 3 lbs4. Take rear seat cushion out. Save 10 lbs
5. Take spare tire, left and right trunk covers out. Save 10 lbs
===============================================
Another 56 lbs off your car
Anymore questions?

I also think it doesn't matter whether I use AA or not. I cannot attempt consecutive launches without waiting for the clutch to cool down. :thumbsdown:

I think you can do launch with 10 minutes apart to let your clutch cool down.
Also, 3/4 tank full ~100lbs will shift to the rear when you try to launch and the effective weight putting on rear wheel will be more than 100lbs.
