You're gonna get a Lot of heat for the street racing comment... Anyway Track mode would have the best performance followed by Sport mode.
I'd also put the car into manual shift setting and down shift with the paddles as low a gear it gives you access too. Then when you go WOT put the car right into Drive. That will start the car at the best RPM and once you through it into D let the car make perfect shifts.
I'd suggest you only do your racing on a track and not the street.

let's see... we have a few modes, Eco, Weather, Tour, Sport, and Track. Can you guess which would be best for racing?
Make sure all your nannies are off so you can properly lose control.

Please describe your car and where you live so I can be on the look out and avoid you. To say this is one of the stupidest posts on so many levels......... But please read, practice and try to have at least some common sense before you kill someone.

Definitely leave the nannies engaged, they're smarter and much quicker at getting you out of trouble than you are.

No need to put the car in manual mode, just leave it in drive, downshift with the paddles to obtain the best gear, and punch it. This way it takes one more thing to do out of the equation.
