Yup!

I havent been brave enough to really beat on it like that. Maybe next time I go to the track I'll give it a shot.

That's awesome!! Actually, that's insane!!

Any chance you wanna share some tips? Particularly on how you got you time down by more than half a second over the course of one day?

What RPM were you shifting at? Did you use 4th?

That is impressive good job

Thanks I'm pretty proud of it. First trip ever to the drag strip.

I shifted at 5500, and NLS 2nd & 3rd. I ran 3rd out til the finish.

My first couple passes I didn't NLS and my times showed it. Without the NLS I ran a 15.4 & 15.6. With NLS and a low 2.4 60ft I could consistently run a 15.0 or a 14.9.

The launch is where it's at. I would rev to 2,000 RPMs and slip the hell out of the clutch. It's really tough and it shows in my 60ft times. You know your doing something that's not great for your clutch which I think makes it more difficult than it is.

The only time I remotely got a good 60ft was when I got the 14.85.

Slipping the clutch is key IMO.

Thanks for sharing the technique details.

I fear that I have been shifting too late...... 6-6.5k. Because even my my best 60' of 2.31 was only a low 15.

Also my 14.96 time slip looks almost identical to your 14.98. I'll post it in a second.

The other amazing thing about your results is the very short list of mods.

14 second Sonic Sedan for approx $1000 of mods.:banana:
