Some run better then others. My 94 had the same mods as my 97 Minus the catback and ran a 14.1@99.7 in the 94
My 95M6 bone stock ran a 13.9@101 on street tires with 143k on the clock.

My best time is still 14.47, I just have to get the launch right, and learn how much to spin the tires because I found out that even though they are street tires, they do react to heat. Last time at the track one run I spun 'em up really good, off the line they spun for about 2 complete turns then hooked good and the car fell on it's nose. Next run I spun them just enough to get the trash off of them and it spun all through first gear. Oh and I put the car on the scale there, and got 3320 lbs(half tank of gas), that's a little light isn't it? But I did make a new personal best on my r/t, .068, a far cry from my first ever run down the strip 14 passes ago with my truck with a .968 r/t, haha.

Try to leave off at around 1200 to 1500 rpms feathering the clutch. If you ease into the throttle you will be quicker than just sitting there spinning. If that is too little try to up it in 200rpm increments. If you go on a test and tune night you should be able to get in 7-10 runs.

If you just let up on the clutch you are shocking the tires with an abrupt torque surge. Try to feather it out and leave kinda easy, like leaving from a stop sign but only a bit quicker. You should hit your mark if you do it right.

I'll do that next time I go, man I wish I could get 7-10 runs in, 5 is about the limit without anyone breaking, too many damn ricers, and they're the one's that break.

The less powerful cars are breaking? Wish this was always the case
