13.2@111 and a 13.6@111mph. I went to the track last night and could not break the 12sec. pisses me off cause I know it should be there but there's a couple of things wrong 1st and foremost I suck at driving manual I cannot launch correctly, second every time I take off I spin like a son of a bi**h, third I think I need a drag set as in wheels and tires and instead of 275/40/17's MT ET's. I also I forgot to mention I do not know how to do a burnout in this car with manual. So I've made my decision before I ever go back to the track with ported heads. I will have a badass torque arm, relocation brackets struts and shocks maybe some coilovers and the drag setup and a linelock. Then hopefully I will break the rear and it will give me an excuse for a moser rear. First run I had a 2.3 60' then the second a 2.5 60'.

of course that'll help. but if trans mount is broken it wont do any good. I dropped .7 in the 1/8 from a tranny mount alone...
...I could get off the line OK with a 2.2 ish sixty foot, but when i hit second, it would go into a FULL ON BURNOUT like i dumped the clutch in first from a stop

your times are not to bad for a new m6 driver, honest it takes awhile to get it down, and when you upgrade your rear launching is another thing that takes a lil time to learn, honest i would take it easy on the launches or plan to have AAA at your next track day lol

Those are some stout mph. And with that said, low 12's should be no problem if you can get the car to 60 better...in the 1.9-1.8. Get some taller sidewall drag radials, lca's and relo brackets, adj qa1's up front, 50/50 shocks on the back, adj torque arm and remove front swaybar. Dial in the suspension first before adding more horsepower to the car. You'll be surprise what some suspension tweaking can do.

whack the throttle. If the shifter jumps up in the hole and the tranny smacks the floor, then its bad. Buy a poly mount for 23 bucks from summit... A stock one will just break first time you slam a gear and they are also like 80 bucks
