there is a HOLD buton on ur shifter
put the car in LOW or 1st and press the hold button this will let u redline your car a little bit more in each gear
giving u a faster start and quicker run on a 1/4 mile

Take it from me do not use that hold button in low gear too much because lets face it the reason why i got a 5 spd instead was because of the poor lauches i was getting off the line with my dx auto, i mean i went through 2 transmissions in 5 1/2 months so be very careful with your tranny. Like jesse said torque converter and nitrous would help

hold button

dont use the hold button for shifting. i did that **** and my tranny died in 2 weeks. but the good thing is that it was already kinda messed up. it was weak, had to drive lil harder to move =P yeh from what someone explained to me, if you use the hold button on first gear it will confuse the ecu, and that is not good. just puttin in what i know.
