Alright.... here's the deal (never did a burnout, but there is rubber all over the rear of my car):
DTC OFF (press and hold): I could not launch hard without breaking the tires loose, and even if I soft launched it, when i hit 2nd it would start spinning the tires.
DTC sport mode: I would try to launch hard, and it would peel out a bit, and then cut power (like its supossed to)... through-out 1st and 2nd, the traction light would flash...(ie.cutting power). It wasnt' until 3rd gear that i would stop loosing traction.
DTC active (not pressed): same as above, but without any peeling out. Steady ctting power.
Best run was with DTC Off, and babying it off the line, and easier 2nd gear shifts.
