As far as daily driving i've noticed if i'm in M mode and sport mode it's way too angry and jumps like crazy, definitely overkill. Thanks again, i appreciate the advice
In sports mode you'll need to down-shift to 1st gear not just have it in sports mode. Otherwise, I hold the brake and press the accelerator 80% to the floor until I see the flag. I then stomp the accelerator and release the break simultaneously. The car will shift on its own.
