Are you launching off idle? Your 60 ft seems really high.

What do you have done to your car? Your 60ft does seem really low. I launch at 1500 with stock stall and hold it to 1/4 throttle and the tires dont break lose as bad then put it to the floor. Doing that I only cut 1.91 60 fts.

It's says M6 in his post...I'm assuming he's a 6 speed....but hmm...I'd say just give it alittle more off the line and you should be good....

I'm curious to find out what mods have been done to the car. The mph is very good for just basic boltons. I know it's a 400 horsepower car but it's also a HEAVY 400 horsepower car.

Thats cool and Im wasnt knocking you or anything and I know it was an M6 also. I know how it is when launch well wet/fog. Keep at it sometimes mother nature doesnt want to give us racers a break.

Nice trap speeds. It looks like you could launch a bit harder, even on the street tires, but I know what a pain in the *** those IRSs can be to figure out. Keep practicing and you'll hit mid 12s with your current setup. Sticky tires and you'll do even better.
