possibly.. what kind of tires are they? Did you go around the water? Did you spin them? How much did you spin them?

if you don't have d/r then you should go around the water box, and spin the tires a couple of times to clean them off... and dont just slam the gas if they're street tires - if you do that you'll spin like crazy...

I would get some 4.10 gears, tuner, and just practice launching. Full exhaust, intake, gears, and decent driver mod should net high 13s.

You're 60 foot times isn't all that bad really for street tires.. I just seen a stock automatic car run this evening at an 1/8th mile track.. he went a 9.4. My best time with 3.27s was a 13.7/ 8.8..

Just work on your launch..

What do you run with your 3.73's? I'd guess that FULL exhaust, plus the other mods listed would be in the mid 13's. Add in a TC and maybe low 13's, dependant on traction.

You didn't know you were spinning? Turn off the stereo. Learn to read the car. You need to learn to modulate the throttle to control/prevent wheel spin.
