Question How does my time look

I ran a best of 13.76@105.16mph at 2000ft elevation. I had a horrible 60ft of 2.344 on my $hitty RS-As. I feel I can shave a couple tenths with practice. I am going to need better tires for sure. My last run I lined up against a '03 Cobra and he ran a 14.0@105.67, he got a 2.59 60 ft.

This was my first time at the track.

With your ET, your Trap speed, your Dyno #'s, and compared to what all mine are, I'd say you have a LOW 13 in the car...easily
Its all about that first 60' And in a M6 it will always be the "first" time (I ran a 14.87 the other night with a 2.6 60' on Drag Radials )
Practice...Practice....Practice...

Come out here to the water and see how it runs!!!

Time/mods in the sig, looks like you and I are entering this game together . What the guys are saying about the 60' times is key. You just can't make it back up if you launch cr*ppy.

Search mcotton posts. Last week he put up a great newbie advice article as a reply in this forum. Helped me a lot.

Since I have an A4, I can't help you w/M6 questions, but I'm willing to bet you have a low 13 in that car the way it sits right now. Seat time!

Hey buddy, how do you get to Carnagie Hall? Practice, practice, practice!

What is "!GAGS" ?

Removed skip shift = CAGS

I was told there was no track prep that night and guys running 13.5s the night I ran got 12.8,9s the next day WITH track prep. They said 60ft times are impossible on the night that I ran on.
