Ah, I thought maybe you were trying to say you had an automatic Mustang with a DSG transmission ha.

Not bad for your first time. What were you shifting at? Should be hitting around 110+ mph

being a drag strip virgin, I am no position to say anything other than very solid first attempt. I'm quite sure I'd be smokin them way too hard and likely miss a shift or two.

Congradulations on your first time.

The big question is... addicted yet? lol
Whenever I ran mine (ive only ran 1 night so far) I skipped the water.... Still did a small burnout... and I launched when the yellow light was about to turn off... You kinda get used to how long a light lasts... But I did watch a lot of people... I loved watching people just do long burnouts at launch and get terrible times. Or watching people shift too fast and bog down...
It's all in good fun. lol

I run mine right up to the rev limiter threshold to shift.

Unfortunately, sometimes I don't shift fast enough and bounce off the limiter...

Get yourself a shifter upgrade, like an MGW...
