and brake torque


I did track times back to back w/ just leaving it in auto and doing stick, didn't make a difference honestly.

It seems like thats the best way to go because when I race in d3 I always get a slow start but I usually run them down.

I definately saw improved times by a tenth or two w/ power braking.


And as long as you don't sit and hold it for a long time and start heating it up they are basically harmless. Now doing nuetral dumps is stupid.

At the track I put it in D3 and power brake. Keep in mind that I'm using nitrous, and manual shifting the auto actually yields me slower times.
