Another trick is to position your side veiw mirrors down so you can see your rear tires.

If you have 418whp, with an easy 1.960ft and 114-115mph worth of trap, you should be 11's in a Z if you can shift.
Here is my shifting (this was on an airport runway, also this is my old 330 whp setup, the car is a bit faster now)

Nice driving (in the night time vid). But for the love of God, please close that cubby while taking videos.
