What would be the time in the 1/4 for a stock 2008 auto HB?

Putting the auto shifter in second doesn't make it start in second gear. It just keeps it from upshifting past second.

Holy crap. You clearly have never actually raced drag competitively.

My thinking on the 2000 rpm launch is that you won't spin tires much on a Yaris . I just think launching a Yaris would be more effective using torque instead of horsepower . I'll admit I'm not drag expert of any sort , but I'm thinking a 2.1 sec 60' time is decent for a stock Yaris LB . That is how I launch when I do Autox

And clearly , I've never owned an auto trans
