Hello, sorry if this is a stupid question...but i really havent owned a REAL sports car before. I'm going to the track sometime soon with my friends at work and I really want to do the best I can and beat all of them! lol. I am going to a drag strip track, not a track track with turns and cool loops and ? boxes you hit to get banannas and lightning bolts

...which is what i prefer to do. So I was wondering what I should do to get the best time, i have a 2010 touring 370z with automatic transmission, and I'm going up against a Pontiac GTO 6.0 (M/T, with exhaust, headers), Infiniti G37XS Sedan (Auto, exhaust), and Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 03-04 I believe (M/T, factory supercharger and many mods ).... Should I,...
1> Launch in Reg. DRIVE with VDC on
2> Launch in Reg. DRIVE with VDC OFF
3> Launch in MANUAL MODE using the PADDLES or GEAR LEVER with VDC on
4> Launch in MANUAL MODE using the PADDLES or GEAR LEVER with VDC OFF
5> OR something completely different that I am not listing
6> OR I am a 'absolute' moron asking a dumba$$ question

Thank you for your time and help.
