BTW, the 8 speed sport auto has a safety launch feature as well, in case you MT guys don't rrealize all the action you are missing out on.

Find a good strip of pavement (hopefully it's a nice warm and dry outside, to get the tire temperature up to where it's just right). Activate the eco-pro mode, and floor the gas. It won't go over 40mph for the first 2 minutes.
