Exclamation what should i use when i race D or (D)

hey guys when I race someone of the line should i put it in 1 2 D D or just D with the circle around it? Thats over drive right?

Will putting it in 1 2 n D just driving around will that hurt the trans?

Let the trans decide the gear when you race, it is programmed not to damage itself.

Most times the D without overdrive is for when you are towing (yes the F body can tow believe it or not) on the freeway the trans doesn't "hunt" going in and out of overdrive causing the trans to heat up.

If you are racing then you are accelerating at WFO. It isn't going to make you go slower if you use (D).
