to drag race good = turn off trac control and put in competition mode, leave in S and floor it but modulate gas to keep it from spinning
to drift it = turn off everything, put in S and keep it in 1st or 2nd... becareful though, without AH, the comp wont save you.
burn out = turn everything off, leave in D and floor it.

Well, I may have exaggerated a tad. A GSD3 245/40R18 Runflat is $520. I haven't had to replace the 19s yet but I'd imagine they are pretty close to that same price so....520 X 4 = $2,080
So sue me for a couple hundred bucks

Sounds more complicated than what it really is.
Oh, BTW, if you have kids and they watched the movie "Cars," they may be able to tell you about the Scandinavian Flick. There was a good description about it in the movie....
