Faster 1/4 Times?

When I was at the track I thought traction was my prob. What is the best way to get a good jump. With my accord I was able to power brake but with the type s I have to wait until the light drops and then floor it. even then the tires dont grip. Any ideas that work for you guys?

I don't have a CL-S, but try lowering your tire pressure.

Lower front tire pressure to about 30 PSI and pump rear tires to 42 + PSI. Half throttle till 3000-3500 RPM when launching, then pedal to the metal!
