Default Launch mode settings

I have tried a bunch of settings. I am at elevation (4500 feet) and the quickest I have been able to hit is 3.1. Wondering what settings you’ve used to get your best time. My car has magride and my best times have been in track on dry for the PTM. Trying to get into the 2s if possible but I know with the elevation it will be tough.

At 4500' elevation and "normal" air, your 495 crank HP engine is only putting out 428HP, 3.1 seconds is quite good.

The density altitude plays a huge part in the power output of the car. It is not just the altitude but also factors like heat as well. My best was 3.4 with a da of 5700 out here in vegas. It was well over 100 degrees out. .

3.1 is really good considering your DA. I personally think the Track mode with PTM on race or sport 2 are the best on a really good road. Dry is good on a mediocre road but you will spin. When it cools off out there give her a few rips you'll be fine.
