It's been a while for me here but still the Eco enthusiast.  Tonight will be the 1st 1/4 I've ran w/this car. Looking for recommendations on launching. All trac-control off and leave in sport mode and let the car shift itself?

Leave it in D, traction control in sport mode and launch at about 2k. That's been my fastest times. You can play with the launch rpm a little, your individual car will differ slightly. When I got my 1.8 60 foot I launched at 2200.

Drop air pressure in tires to 30 or slightly less. Remove all weight and stage really shallow. Good luck.

Remember to check tire pressure after a few runs as it will increase.

Take out the spare tire, floor mats, and stuff in glove compartments if you are looking to get your best run. I remove the Engine cover as well, I have a theory that it holds the heats and provides for less cooling.

I will be going next week myself...I assume you just drive around the water and burnouts are obviously off the table...?

I know most folks launch 2k ish, but my best time was had with a 1500 rpm launch.

Hopefully you have Torque or Dash Command as our stock tach is useless on the fine end...

If your picking up gravel or dirt on the way to line up a good little burn out won't hurt to clean the tires...avoid the water for sure
