Dissapointed
On my 3 to 4 shift I literally shift just a tick before the indicated redline ....my 1 to shift I constantly hit the limiter (its very tricky), 2 to 3 I shift a couple ticks before (hit that too many times as well) and my 3 to 4 is the easiest.. just shift 'at' redline.
I did the times in in about 75-80* not humid at all then I went back to the same track with it humid as hell and 80-85* and made 2 passes: 13.50@13.69 2.12 60 ft 13.59@102.69 2.12 60ft weather is a BIG factor
Definitely not spinning and not knowing it. This thing doesnt do the spin, lol. On my 1-2 shift it barely blips the Low Trac light and I hear a *chirp*. Heck, in the rain the other day on my abandoned street I floored it from a low roll and shifted hard (for me, lol) at 3500 and only got a chirp and low-trac for a second.
Yes, I shift slow. When on the street a shift will cost me about 5-8 feet every time a shift is performed. Is this slow enough to kill mph?
I think without my lame driving the car would trap 105 easy.

practice/pratice/practice lol
First of all if your low track light comes on its cutting your power, turn that traction control off. And I wouldnt be too worried my first night out with my 00 SS I ran 13.7 at 104 with a 2.25 60 ft. Then next pass tried to launch a bit better, hit a 13.5 at 105 with a 2.19 so i picked up 2 tenths and a mph with dropping my 60 ft by .06. This is in hot/humid south florida.

Forgot about the traction control, yes he needs to turn that off, i gained 2 tenths too when i dropped .06 on my 60ft.

Lid and TSP rumbler are my planned mods for now. Anything else is a bit spendy.

Verdad Gallardo I was running full tank of gas man... You just have to work on getting off the line smoothly and nailing your shifts (I come about as close to a powershift as you can get...) I lift off the throttle but not much and I shift pretty damn quick... sometimes I run into that stupid 'small line' issue with my clutch... thinking about doing the drill mod but I don't need to rip on the car any harder than I already do..haha

Do an auto swap and you'll really find out what you run.

Well, let me be the first to say, I do the suck at launching. The poor 60' was due to bogging, not spinning.
I am still a bit sad. I know my ET would suck due to the POOR 60', but my mph looks a bit low too, no? Would a 2.36 bogging 60' kill mph as well as ET? I thought I should trap around 104-05. My car is a bone stock 2001 6-speed WS6. I had 3/4 tank of gas as well, noob move number 2, lol.
Is my car a dog, or did my bogging launch own my mph as well as my ET? (I figured my ET would suck the first time out, but I was hoping for a strong mph).
Here is the timeslip. I was on the right.
