Default Lame 1/4 Mile Vids

Just for fun, some of my 1/4 mile passes from last Friday.
I took 5 passes total, all 14.1 to 14.3. All 60fts were 2.2+ which is the hardest time I've ever had launching. It did just finish raining/ spitting. I'd include more video but my GF did the taping. I don't want to give you all seizures.

"i'm going racing, YAY!"

your launches don't look too bad, do you do a burnout prior to launching?

AT or MT? 14 in wet track would be equal to 13.6-13.8 on dry track.

No burnout, it was discouraged on street tires. But they felt slippery. I used to do a little mini burn out just to clear any debris, but even that was discouraged. Car has high 13's in it with a better launch and faster shifts I think. But like I said, it's just for fun.

Yeah I don't know what to do. I did lift a bit. I am capable of shifting without taking my foot off the gas at all, but I am scared of the possible damage. Have to work with launches and 1-2 shifts most. I think with a 2.0 the car will do 13.7. What would you suggest there Church.

-Flat shift.. you won't hurt the z
-When your clutch hits the floor, slide your foot to the left to allow the clutch pedal to "pop" back. Obviously, you will need to be in gear by the time your clutch pedal hits the ground. This forces you to change gears like a ninja

That wasn't complete failure!
If you want to see complete failure look at Rich's link.

I'll call it a non-failure when you break 14's. YOU'RE ONLY OFF BY 0.1 SECONDS!! you just have to shift faster by 0.1 seconds to break 14's
