2.5 60fts? What the hell were you doing? You def should be in the 1.7 range at least. That alone will run you closer into the 14s
my tires are also almost bald.....=/, I know 2.5 is worse than FWD

dont use the ebrake that is prob not helping you any bit with your launch. Even with tires you should do alot better than 2.5s Just hold the RPMs up at like 5-6k and come off the clutch at a steady but quick pace. Or you can side step the clutch and stomp the gas lol but that is extra abuse

Yea you need to slip that clutch alittle more and get rid of the damn ebrake. There is no need for that. Even on my RWD i was hitting 2.1. You should be below 2.0 at least.

And what is with the very low traps...you should be hitting around 95mph. Is something wrong with your car? Are you having problems shifting too?

my car stops after 6200 rpms...im having issues with my spark blowing out under boost so my car would slow down and then i would have to react to it by shifting(takes atleast half a sec), n i am sure i have a couple BL's. mmm My shifting arm was pretty cramped up as well and I was slow.

So the whole time you are sitting at the light you are roasting the clutch?
