I would say DA was more the culprit to the bad time then driver in that case. RWD auto is as easy as it gets other then awd. FWD manual is by far the hardest to launch right..... Off the line the weight transfers off of the drive wheels and not only do you have less traction, but you have wheelhop. RWD manual is much easier, off the line the weight transfers to the drive wheels, and from there on it's just shifting. With rwd auto you just stick it in drive and go. Sure manual shifting the auto may be .1 faster but it's very difficult not to get consistent numbers from an auto rwd. It's not like traction should be a huge issue either.... You guys have like what.... 275, 285 width Pirelli summer tires ?
