thanks everyone
the traction off the line isn't so great if you just floor it, even though the tires i have are 295s in the back and they are not runflats (pure performance)
you really have to feather in the gas pedal for a fast start
i believe i was in 2nd gear when i entered an onramp and floored it (giving my friend alex in MD a ride) i nailed the gas coming right out of a corner before the merge lane which was about 1/8th mile away
active handling was on and the rear started to drift left so i immediately let off the gas and yanked the wheel left, the rear tires gained traction and i jerked the wheel slightly back to center and off we went, man that was exhilarating
this was at 10 in the morning today, a sunday so there were no cars around
needless to say i cant stop driving this mammoth.
