I ran 11.6 at 121 using the paddles. They aren't great, but you can work around them if you want.

For drag racing though....why bother?

I've gotten use to the lag time, the one thing that bugs the hell out of me is that when you spin the tires or active handling comes on in 1st, you can't shift with the paddles and all you do is bump the rev limiter
