Most people use comp mode.....allows a little wheelspin while minimizing the chance you'll get the rear end fully around.

As far as paddles vs. sport, I'll have to let someone else answer. I'm betting sport, which is automatic, right, for the fastest shifts. The autos usually beat the manuals b/c of consistency.

Just my 2 cents, ran my 2001 Z51 A4 Convertable a few times best ET 13.13 >>> what worked for me >>I took / traction controll off & foot on brake brought her up to approx 1400 rpm & mash it a last yellow light while taking foot off brake & let her shift herself. note ( never red lighted ).

Will run 1/4 mile with my 07 A6 in October at NE Dragway...will do same as above ................. The Dog.........
