od off, trac off, rev it up then let off the break and floor it
should get some sticky tires too, they will help alot
but low 14s are possible on a great day with a good driver
a few more mods and you can get 13s

RE: It is time!!
You couldnt use the track until you were 18? Where I am its 16. I haven't been to the track yet, I want to though. I borrowed my friends Vector Accelerometer that I plug into the cigarette lighter, it times 0-60 and 1/4 mile and all that good stuff, I haven't had a good open strip of road to try it on though yet. I'd rather just go to the track once I get new tires. But I need to really practice.

take out your spare tire and jack. concentrate on doing a nice short burnout, have the A/C and stereo OFF, put it in neutral and rev it up as you press on the brake as hard as u can, then put it in drive and hold the brake and get the rpm's up, then on green mash the gas as u ditch the brakes and just MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT POINTED PERFECTLY STRAIGHT. don't be all over the track; u'll lose 10ths. pick a line and stick to it.

What you need to do is press on the brake hard with your left foot and press the gas with your right. Find the rpm's that your tires start to spin then when your on the line, keep the rpm's just below that. This will help you get the car into its powerband quicker since it can start from a higher rpm. You will launch harder and it will help your ET. It does take some practice though.

That will rip an automatic tranny apart. Too much stress going from neutral to drive at high rpm's.

lol no i meant rev it up in neutral to get vacuum pressure up, so the brake goes down further, then wait till the RPM's drop, then put it in drive and do the brakestand thing.
