[@WASTED__POTENTIAL]

It sounds like the trans tune needs to be dialed in a bit. Mine shifter much harder from 1-2 and 2-3. The "hang" mid 3rd gear is normal, though, because the torque converter locks in the middle of 3rd which sounds wierd, but doesn't adversely affect acceleration. It makes 3rd gear almost act like a cvt for a moment.

I think the trans is what really disappointed enthusiasts. Its very slow and doesnt really seem to put all the torque down too well. A manual option would have developed a much larger aftermarket for it. Or even at least a performance auto. Then it would be so much easier to find mods for it. Right now I think there's literally 1 or two fully bolt on air intakes you can buy, 1 set of downpipes for $1300 from a small business. 1 decent exhuast that's only axle back for a grand. No good turbo upgrades. The best you can do right now is a tune and better fuel. Hardly any cosmetic mods that aren't ricey as hell as well.

Drag racing is not just a test of power to weight. You can get that from a sheet of paper. Real racing includes the first 60 feet. I'm well aware of the fact that roll racing is gaining in popularity, and I have nothing against it, but a true drag race starts from a standstill and runs 1320 feet. That is a fair race.
