I do the same thing, I actually find that NOT speed shifting leads to better times in these cars. On the street, I do not even bother with 1st since it simply bakes tires even if I baby it. I think maybe when I put the drag radials on it will help. I am envious of your traction control, how well does it work on the street? Have you come across any ZL-1's? in my area I have only seen on and that was at a dealership (black ZL-1 which looked pretty nice)
