you definately need to work on the launches and quickening you shifts. that's not too bad but i pulled over a 2.2 60' on stock potenzas at 13.6. practice makes perfect man.

How does an AWD turbo car get a 2.557 60' time?

I think WRX's are harder to launch as they will bog bad off the line if not done correctly.

Hell no. Those things take off like a bat out of hell. They'll beat you across any intersection.

I don't like the temperature excuse too much. The operating temps of your car far exceed whatever temperature it maybe outside so any air is "cold air". It may run better in colder temps but it's not an excuse for that much error. If your engine gets heat soaked, that's one thing. If you get an hour between runs, there's no excuse.

well id say my times arent bad for only running three times, I saw my error when I ran the 14.3, so next time I know I will do better, I will most likely have aftermarket wheels though, F running stock, its no fun, need more traction, and the heat here does take a huge toll on turbo cars, I couldnt break 15 seconds in july in my WRX, ran it in Jan. and I was running high 13s.

Clearly you haven't drag raced much. Hot air is far less dense that cold (ie it has less available oxygen). Have you ever heard of a thing called density altitude? With my cars, running in 90+ degree weather sucked out an easy .3-.4 seconds and 3mph vs running in 50 degree weather. Same 60 foots, same shift points, same mods.

Heat soak on turbo cars ruins performance, still no excuse for the lame 60 ft. for an AWD, He should of murdered you of the line, then start reeling him in!

You ran better than every other 350Z driver who is sitting at home typing on the keyboard. Good show.

Good times, I've ran simliar times too. My fastest was a 14.3 with a 2.3 60ft at 99.7. It was hot and the humidity was killer on that day. Plus the track prep was horrible.
