with my 2SS A6, right now with a new cam and 3600 tc, intake/exhaust, from a complete stop manual mode is the best, starting in 1st gear, with competition mode, it gets up to 5000 fast then second gear.:thumbsup: from what i understand having competion mode on meaning tc and sc off, that is the best start. i seem to have better times with the manual mode than the automatic but then again mine is not stock and i have not official been to the track, hopefully next week though
