Our track changes daily and even hourly depending on the weather.

For a second I had forgotten that you were in an automatic.
It's a shame i'll probably not head out to the drag strip this year with the car so next year i'll have to experiment with different launching techniques. I used to go to the strip with my previous car for 5 years straight (2005 STi) and I consider myself a seasoned drag racer. It will certainly be hard to adjust to a RWD car from an AWD jap-box.
OP, quick question, when you AT guys are going down the track, do you manually shift with the paddle shifters or do you let the computer do it?
