launch tips
OK I admit im green, but whats the best way to launch my C5Z without melting the rubber through 1st and 2nd gear ? Basically, what's the best way to achieve the claimed high 11 / low 12 numbers.

and on that note...has anyone used a WOT box for launch control and no-lift WOT shifts? We apparently have a supporting vendor that sells them for the C5.

In competition mode, traction control (TC) is disabled, but active handling (AH) remains enabled. This allows tire spin to occur, but it will attempt to correct your trajectory if the backend starts to go sideways on you.
