no he has a completely different car, he drives a Typhoon, but its the same concept. Yes Sport mode makes a difference because the throttle body opens immediately where in normal D its just gradually opening. NEVER DO NEUTRAL DROP! that will destroy your tranny. sport mode if drive is good but the best is Sport mode in "2". this takes full advantage of sport mode, and you will notice a much quicker launch off the line. thats just what i've noticed.


Does your friend notice a difference doing it that way and just with braking and sport + in D? I never heard of anyone doing that way. I've done it braking and with RPM at 2k in D + sport mode, sometimes the tires will spin, just a bit though. I know your not suppose to do a nutral drop with autos cause I've heard a lot of guy messing up their trans that way.

Actually Supercharging a car has nothing to do with transmissions, it will still be a bit slower 0.6 - 1 sec slower but thats about it.
