You caught me at the exact right time time. I have the car up on the lift for oil change and brake pad and fluid service. Pic of the car on the lift and also close ups of front and rear jacking points.
You should try using Launch Control. You are going to need the car in Track Mode with a PTM mode selected or in Sport with Competition Mode set.

Couple of answers/comments to your questions/comments:
- agreed on the turning radius of the car. It is...
