Going to try and make it to the track today, Lebanon Valley Dragway in NY.
Car is a 2015 GT, PMAS w/Lund Tune, Ford Racing Catback, and Nitto NT05R's 305/35/19 in the rear. What is everyone having best results with when it comes to which mode to leave the car in (Sport, Sport+, Track, etc.) and tire pressure for the nittos to start with? I'll post results later in the day.

i think with tunes they say just normal and D. psi about 20lbs to start and stall up about 1500rpm and adjust from there. try some lower and some higher

Yeah no experience with my 15, sold it before it ever went to the strip. Like previous poster said with my tuned 13 A6 I just held the TC button to turn everything off and best results were in D. I stalled it up to about 1100-1200 and went from there.

Nittos at 23psi, traction control off (hold the switch until it flashes so everything is off) and leave it in D. When you want to go, just stomp the gas.

I've tried stalling the car, sport mode, track mode, manual shifting and 60ft suffered as did times.

The one Wednesday I am not going to make it to the Valley. Stay out of the right lane if you can, it has been shitty for me all year.

Only was able to get 2 runs in tonight.

First run: Held traction control off for 5 seconds and left the car in sport mode. Tire pressure was around 19 psi and foot-braked the car to about 1200 rpms. 1.9 60' 12.4 at 113.

2nd Run: Tried Track Mode and traction control kicked in so couldn't heat up the tires and cut an awful 60' (right lane oddly enough). 13.0 at 113.

If I make it back this month I think I'll try the leave it in D method and see what I can do.

That's not too shabby. This Sunday they have the Musclepalooza at the valley, which has a modern muscle class. If the weather holds off I am going to go up with the slicks on and see how it does. I have run three different cars so far up there, and every one hooks in the left lane, and is a terror in the right.
