You can also tell from his times (namely consistency) that launching an automatic AWD car is not exactly rocket science (i.e. doesn't need to be "professional" magazine driver).
A MT RWD car with high torque/power would require a lot more skill. These cars just require figuring out how to prevent the ECU from cutting power, the trans from short shifting and brake torquing the launch correctly. Also, I doubt staggered tires help in drag racing an AWD car like this, where the engine isn't really putting out enough torque - staggering tires is really for RWD cars (especially ones without LSD's) to provide added rear grip and neuter the throttle oversteer a bit (staggered tires create understeer).

That's right, any of you guys should be able to do this. I look forward to you 4 series guys getting out to the track and eclipsing my times.
I look forward to the posts! I don't know how many more times the wife will let me take her car to the track again!
