That happens a lot. I sometimes wonder how many people think I ignored them.

Figured I'd do some useful contribution to the forum besides shitposting in Random Thoughts. Besides, I haven't been logging in daily so that made up for the days I've missed.

Thank you, this was really informative. Unfortunately, I don't have the stock tires :C. But I will definitely keep all this other information in mind. Wow I learned a lot haha. |

So basically if you at the starting line at a standstill, you have to release the brake, gently press the gas, press and hold the brake again, and give it gas up to whatever RPM you are aiming for. I'll just tap the gas a little which will slightly roll the car forward, immediately hold the brake down all the way, then give it gas and the RPM climbs past 2k. If I don't hold the brake down hard enough, the rear tires break loose and start spinning while the front brakes grab the front tire and hold the car still. There is a fine line between doing a burnout and brake torquing this car. Holding the RPMs at 4k while doing this seems to be the sweet spot where the car leaves quickly and not spinning it's tires too much off the line but different tires determine that for each car. |

So I tried doing this a few times before coming to work (with no traffic around, ofc). I kept spinning the tires lol... Either I'm not doing it correctly or its the stock tires. Also couldn't get past 2k still. |

Could be this: Press and hold the "Trac Off button" for more than 3 seconds while the vehicle is stopped, the two lights come on the dash, then try those steps again. I never have tried it without turning of traction control so maybe that was missing when it didn't work for you. It did take a couple times to get the hang of it. Make sure the car accelerator responded by watching the RPM jump a little then push the brake. If you don't get it right it will stay below 2k rpm. Either you mistimed it or the trac off has to be done beforehand. |

I'm sure plenty of people have tracked their automatic transmission cars. Go for it and have fun doing it! That's all that matters!

I have a 2013 automatic, pretty much stock except trd springs, swaybar set, exhaust, 16 wheels and 225/50/16 yokohama advanced neova Ad08r. I love this car for autocrossing. Done around 120 laps.
