Default 1/4 mile hints n tips, FG XR8 UTE :)

Hey lads

Going to take the fg xr8 ute down the quarter mile for the 1st time this wednesday, she's got a zf 6 speed.

just thought i'd ask the wealth of people in the know on the forums as to the best way to launch and get my boss 290 coupled with the zf 6 speed, from go to finish in the fastest way possible ;)

shes got 20's all round, 8.5" front 10" rear, i'm trying to source some track tyres but i'm just keen to get her down n get a base figure first.

She's stock, with 3300km's on the odo and a cat back zorst i'm figuring traction is going to be my hardest hurdle, should i do it in full auto or manual mode, i'm pretty used to using manual mode and prefer it, whats your guys thoughts? What should i stall it to b4 launch? whats the go with DCS as it annoys me greatly already :P anyway any help would be great and thanks in advance for your time

Scotty
