reaction time doesn't matter.. the clock doesn't start until you move... can you scan your time slip? what was your 60"? You feather it out, or dump it? How much wheel spin did you get?

EDIT: did you do a burnout? or just spin em once or twice? What kinda tires do you have?

A two step tune since you have a stick...and a smaller shifter if you dont have one.
Something else I do at the track, I pull the seat up all the way to the stearing wheel, and roll the windows all the way up...Take the spare out the trynk along with the other misc. items I dont need in my car. I put the DR's on and get ready to go

Just remember man 99% of your track time is how you drive. Well maybe not 99%. Im pretty sure i could get a saleen s7 tt into the 12's even with my $#!++y driving skills lol. But now all you have to do is work on your driving skills. I cut a whole half second off my time just by practice.

Yea man work on your 60ft time. My first time at the track, I ran about 10 times. My final run was the best of the night with a 14.2 @ 98.xxmph with a 2.4 60ft time. I have the stock 3.27 gears and dont even have any type of tune to compliment my bolt ons. I will definitely be in the 13's with a better 60ft time I know because my buddy has a 2000 GT with almost the exact same thing and he runs a 13.9 on street tires with a 2.0 60ft.
