Those times definitely seem alittle high. What are you running for tires? I'm assuming just streets. What are you launching at and are you spinning during the launch at all?

I went for my 2nd time last night. I made 4 runs. Best was 14.442. Stock tires that just WONT hook up. I know it will do 13's w/ a nice set of drag tires.

Best thing u can do is practice your driving. Your car is capable of low 14s as is.

What was the DA for the night? If it's really high, it could have turned a 14 second pass into a 15+ second pass.

Can you post your entire time slip?
