Was quite fun will have to try her out at the strip and see how she goes.
Turn off ASC. It cuts engine power and confuses things when on while launching/spirited driving.

I've launched the car a bunch of times... and done autox, drag, etc, and have not once gotten the slow down light. Not sure if other people are doing things wrong, or I am!

I think the key is to tap QUICKLY. Meaning, don't hold the gas down at all, for more than a few quick stabs before releasing the brake and going WOT. The idea is to do it quick so the clutch doesn't engage until you're up there already. Just because the brake is on, doesn't mean it won't engage the clutch. Too slow of a tap (held down too long) and it will start to drag the clutch, in my experience, and therefore could cause the clutch to overheat and turn on the "slow down" notice.

have fun!
