1st off... no offence.
2nd... yea man that car should go alot faster
3rd... bone stock, i went 2.1 60s, and 13.7 at 102... i honestly dont know where i was shifting but it wasnt 6k, and 3rd, i threw out of early and hit 4th, made a good differance.
4th, idk what kind of tire is on that car, when u grab 2nd it ought to kick out to the side some... if not, shift faster.
come out of the hole around 2k, use the clutch for traction
bottom line... that car should be capable of 13.5s at about 102-103
however take it for what its worth, in my stock new edge(now with suspension and 3.73s) i had(and have) fun finding small bolt on gt's and racing them from a stop.

I was running 14.1 in the 1/4. Im in an automatic. You need new tires. With 60' like that you problem is traction... you should be in the mid 13's. What part of texas are you from im in houston where baytown is at sea level. It makes a difference.
