Come to San Antonio and you will see what it is to be a real man, why the wife hates to be in my Vette, she can not stand being pinned in the seat

I do not have have 700 Blah blah blah at the rear and have an A4 the runflats are not a good traction tire for the application of HP, too firm, allowing them to "run flat" for a short period. I agree if you continue to run RF's you are going to have to figure out when to let off slightly to avoid spinning. Try the competition driving mode and slightly let off before first to second shifts, and if you are hardball maybe even second to third.Good luck

The other day, I let Wayne hear my car from the second gear stomp shifting into third. A/H and Traction Control off. I had my cell phone sticking out the window, shifting from 2nd to 3rd and trying to control the car from going sideways

Thanks for being a sport with us and I am serious about the throttle modulation, if I hammered the throttle on the street with even my NT-01s it is until 4th that I have traction Nothing like boost, but good tires on your end will help with some of the traction issues, just not at my stock HP levels

Mine does the same thing on the 1st to 2nd shift with an A4 and 3.42 Z06 rear gears, TC left on. I have 305/30/19 Michelin PS2's also. I would recommend a set of Drag Radials if you are really looking to solve the problem under WOT, but have never tired a set.

Wayne - 27 is to low 
Go to 30.
Or, under the right foot, and placed over the pedal, place a raw egg - works every time
