hey the results are in. I ended up running a 13.4 at 106.87 mph i was spinning i only pulled a 2.2 60ft which is bad. he ended up running a 14.8 at 99mph from spinning to. it sucks though he ended up snapping his driveshaft into two pieces and it smashed up his exhaust on the second run. i think it snapped because he was was wheel hopping hard for about 20ft.

does anyone know what should be a good 60' for my car? i think anywhere from 1.8 to 2.0 since my car is basically stock. once i get my mickey thompson drag radials on the back i think i will be able to achieve this and a high 12 sec 1/4 mile. what do you guys think?

yeah your about right, you could possibly get that 60' down with some more power and the DR's, but just be careful like its been said the 6mt's are brutal on the stock rear, i never had a prob, but i ran around on street tires burning thru three gears.
