    Not bad overall, but even on the way home, I noted that the SC's power delivery isn't exactly meant for straight runs from a standstill, it really shines when you need to accelerate from the sweet spot

    Looks like you had fun! It is so nice to have factual information, greatly appreciated.
    I forget if you are 6MT or 6RT? Did you use launch control both times?

    I'm RT, my best time (above) was with launch at around 3500RPM and Auto mode. I did a similar launch in manual mode and went SLIGHTLY slower (it was 12.4-something)

    *edit* and video!
