I went to the dragstrip the other day and got the following results:

Reaction 0.691
60ft 2.334
330ft 6.152
Mid-MPH 78.53
660 9.208
MPH 105.63
ET 13.926

Weather was around 95F out and sun was setting. No burnout, launch at 3500rpm and MDM mode on. The dragstrip is an old airport and the ground is concrete. The ground is pretty bad but even with a crappy ET the MPH should be higher then 105.63mph. Whats the best way to launch the car, should I use MDM? I also have a 4wd turbo car which I thought was hard the launch because it tends to bog but wow the m3 isn't easy (I had times of 14.2, 14.1, 14.5, and 13.9).

I tried without MDM and the car was all over the place couldn't get traction until 3rd gear (I upshifted to fast).
