At the track I just held my brake down and held the gas at like 2000 RPM's. It actully improved my reaction time and I almost got a .500 . (I even screetched the tires)

But dont do neutral drops. It seems that it slows the car down even more.

putting the tranny in d3 doesnt do anything except keeping it from shifting to 4th. im not sure about 7g accords, but on 5g accords, 3 gear was good till well over 100mph. i really hope you arent racing that fast on the street.

at the track, my best times were with brake torquing and manually shifting from first (past redline a bit). both of these thing will cause your tranny to blow up (mine did at 100k, started slipping at 60k)
