But there must be way more than this, as you don't get pulled into your seat like you do when I floor it and shift up manually.

Thanks for the advice RE traction. On both times I tried it was on the same part of the road (same lights). I'll try somewhere else and see what happens.

I've only used it 2 times on separate days.

So there's nothing wrong with what I'm doing then? When the wheels spin up, I back off the throttle as it's an automatic reaction from me. Not sure if I should have consciously kept my foot planted.
