Yes and no. The car is pretty damn consistent. More so than my Duster ever will be however I am still trying to find the sweetspot on launch RPM's and anything other than off idle is tough unless I use the launch control which I hate. I suppose if I were racing for big money, I would do what's best and that is either launch off idle or use the launch control. I just like pushing the car to get the most out of it and I haven't had it long enough to be good on the light.
