A lot of the 0-60 time is dependent on if you got adequate traction from the start.

yea yea... if you can make the wheels spin to 60 in less than 3 secs does it count? How about after the 2-3 shift, spin it to 60 is that count?:rofl:

:rofl: thats a good one. Seriously, you're losing time if your spinning, no matter if its the quarter or 0-60. Might only be .0xx, but it is something.

Spinning is gonna hurt your E.T., but you're gonna get a faster 0-60. As long as we're talking about wheelspeed, which is what your speedo is gonna show, thats true. Now groundspeed would be whole different story.

The track averages your speed for the end of the track between the beams by calculating how long it takes you to get from one to the other - so it is not reading what you actually go through the final beam at. IE if you go past the first beam at 98 and the second at 102 it will show a 100mph trap speed.

My 13.59 was going off of my log as people had mentioned but my speedo is off pretty bad when I put the slicks on - didn't think of that. I did cut a 1.59 60' on that pass though and left at ~20PSI.
