Leave the VDC off. Those stories are not from when people are driving in a straight line. I just went for the first time and had it turned on the first pass i made on accident cause I had turned the car off just before getting to the line.

When I launched I had no wheel spin cause I wanted to take my first ever drag strip run mildly, but once I had went maybe 10 feet and was pedal to the floor in first it kicked in and completely cut power for a second and ruined that run.

You'll want the rears to be at maximum stiffness. You don't want your rear to drop. And your fronts should be on the lowest stiffness level (just while at the drag strip of course, these are bad street settings)
