Default taking off and drag racing tips(automatic trans)

I need some street racing tips(red light for example). How do i work the pedals in order to accelerate faster? Do you release and then push the gas right when the car is about to shift or what? I know my car is decently fast but i dont know how to drive

Hold the brake with your left foot, and bring the revs up to the limit of spinning the tires -1700-1900 rpm with a stock torque converter,


when the light turns green release the brake and hammer the throttle.

Street racing is not condoned by me or anyone else here who participates in the occasional stoplight drag

-But we realize that sometimes you have to accelerate quickly

Little trick is to run the AC for a little and the engine will turn off economy mode, and run full power, turn off the AC and the engine will still run on off economy for a little bit but not wasting it on AC and more power to the wheels. I don't know what Year steed you have but I believe it works 94-98.

Take out the spare and rear seats, makes you lighter. sound system can be really heavy too.

best thing to do is try to ram your opponant off the road and win the race that way. go baby go go! ( don't really do that)
