Obviously your 60' times are killing your et. The mph is not bad though. You'll get it together.

Yeah don't feel bad, it's just a traction issue. I did the same thing with our 03 'vette ragtop. Totally stock M6 car with the stock 18'' runflat tires.
Made 6 passes and the very best one was a 13.38 @ 107.3 on a 2.22 sixty foot. Couldn't leave hard and spun bad on the 1-2 shift. It too is just a drag radial away from a high 12 pass.

Mainly just disappointed because Ive always seen stories of people running high 12s with street tires and I run a 13.5... It makes me wonder if I cant cut a few tenths off my 60' with drag radials. Guess I know what my next mod is! LOL
