launch wont matter in D5 or SS, you don't have control over 1st gear. Turn TCS off, TCS light will illuminate.

Well when i took the tl to track last time it did not slip at all?? something was wierd than i checked out the whole car and found low engine oil. so i went and changed my oil and here i am. It feels alot better now, and now i can make it spin . could the engine oil really be the problem?

^ Going through the gears in the shifter "gate" instead of the +/- SS

really that way is faster?? It seems that would also have a worse effect on the transmission.

^ It's pretty much the same as SS, except you have full control over 1st gear. In SS, if do anything short of flooring it, the computer will probably shift before redline.
