One way around this would be to paddle shift down to 1, launch the car, shift to D and back to M to take advantage of the higher shift points. When I go to the track I'm going to use this procedure. I wish someone would datalog the car at the track and confirm the 1st or 2nd gear starts in M.
Or get a tune to eliminate the ridiculous way GM set this tranny up.
