Default Your best 60ft time?

Hey just curious what these cars can pull with a good driver. Would love to see times on stock tires.

List the following:

60ft time - Tire - Tire Size - Tire PSI - Track Temp - Suspension Mods

Mine:

2.22 - Stock - 235/18 - 30psi - 35* - None

I see good times with 23psi. MM&FF had an article last month saying that if you deflate street tires, it will hurt traction do to less foot print. They also talked about not heating street tires with burnouts, which causes the tires to get greassy. Then again you guys had pretty good 60ft times with 23psi on stock tires... Whats your input? I was able to get a 13.8 once. Thereafter, everything is 14.0-14.2sec. How are you guys launching? Im right at 1,700RPM. Anything belog, car boggs and anything above car spins too much.

That's what I launch at is about 1800 rpm. Mine's an automatic. I spin my tires just enough to get the water off them from the water box. I've never let any pressure out of my tires either.

mine is 5spd. so I think is harder to launch. But 1,700-1,800RPM fits pretty good.
