how do i go wot in 2nd gear?

lmao! no really! after a lot of bull **** posts and trolling around... i am actually curious..!

2nd gear. no traction control, i am just spinning wheels from 30-60.

i usually do my 40 rolls in 3rd gear and break boost....
but most ppl want to do 20 or 30 rolls. and that would mean go in 2nd gear?!!


now should i put traction control on? or turn it off/comp mode?
'

let me remind you i do not have g85

You're better off to leave the trac control off and esc off and just try to pedal through it. Normally I just roast em til it grabs, IMO its not worth pedalling through and losing boost.

stiffen the rear suspension to keep it from pulling the weight off the fronts, stickier front tires, smalller diameter wheel with a taller overall height to help kill some gear and so the sidewall takes the tq hit. realize that there are more positions for your gas pedal other than WOT and idle...
