Make sure you heat the tires some before you try to run the car. Air down the rear tires to 25 psi to help with traction too. Put the car in "M" mode and forget the paddles and let the car do the shifting. Make sure the "S" is lit and not the current gear. Put the car in PTM5 mode or turn off the traction control/stability control by holding the traction control button for 7 seconds until both lights illuminate. PTM5 mode can be accessed by pressing the traction control button twice then cycle the menu by pressing sport until you see PTM5 listed. These few things will get the car into the correct mode for best e.t. You can't launch aggressively with street tires. If you load up too hard against the torque converter, you will blow the tires away and ruin the run and get another 14.0. Take the slack out of the drivetrain by barely going above idle on the brake and launch about 1/2 throttle and then gently + quickly squeeze the rest of the way down. Practice this as it is difficult to put into words. If you get drag radials, once they are heated just load above idle and go. Hopefully I have helped.
