Were you actually physically shifting using the paddle shifters? From what I heard, best way to run the AT Steptronic is to...

1: Turn off DTC/DSC
2: Put it in "Manual" Mode
3: Feather it a little on take off so no tire spin and then pedal to the metal
4: Let the car shift itself at redline through 4th gear

I did that on my first pass. Didnt turn out so well.
After talking to some of the other guys driving 335 AT, I found out that most of them where launching at about 3 to 3.5k and padddle shifting @6k through all the gears. I tried that and improved on the next 3 passes

RT has nothing to do with your 1/4 time or MPH.

I have an auto and i've noticed that my car pulls much harder when i shift before redline by about 400 rpm. Also i've heard that taking off in 2nd works pretty well also.
Italian335i im not trying to talk over you im just stating what i know

Same, 6MT here but I have driven with and without the SSTT and either way going much past 6k RPM's slows you down. Car just falls on it's face, I find it best to shift around 6100-6300. Definitely no need to hit anywhere near 7k!

Oh I dont know, my car is new and havent had a chance to run it yet. But I do agree, it dies right before redline. Anyone know the best way to launch? Im still playing around with that
