Stomp and hold the brake pedal. Floor it as the tree begins it's countdown. Let off the brake right after the last yellow light turns on. Or wait for the green if Rt's don't matter. Good luck.

What about starting off in 1st and then putting it is in 2nd and then D...Would you get more power that way?

Tom...Look into Long Island Dragway...Im not sure if it open anymore. There was rumors of tearing it up and building condos on the spot. Im not sure if they closed down yet.

Nope the best thing to do let the auto shift. Keep that sucker in drive. my best time with auto is 17.6 @ 78 leaving it alone. the best time startin and shifting the auto myself 17.8 @ 76. but i dont have auto anymore have stick..16.3 @ 84 and room for improve ment

actually u can get better times from shifting the auto manually, well atleast for my friends supercharged maxima. Civics don't really gain any power after 6 grand if its stock so it best to shift there and not wait for the auto to shift at 6300-6500. And don't do a manual drop, u will ruin the transmission real quick. u hold down the gas and break then drop break and floor the gas. hope that helps some
