Well, if I was a 'legend' and I was going to be paid to be on national television and didn't want to look like I didn't know what I was doing, I would have done several things:
1. Rented a duplicate car weeks ahead of time and ran the wheels off it in testing.
2. Hired one of numerous sportsman driving school instructors to help me.
3. Deep staged the crap out of it.
4. Matted the throttle trying to get it to react quicker.
5. Shifted it manually to see if I could pick up any ET.

Better yet, I would have hired any one of numerous sportsman racer (who are much older than anyone in this group and still seem to be racing competitively) to stand in for me as a ringer. Pete Kost among others comes to mind.

Before it's all over, they'll be finishing the sportsmen on Saturday so they can get the Pros, Alcohol, monster trucks, jets, motorcycle daredevils, Benny the Bomb and the TV show done on Sunday. Butts in the seats is job one.
