Default Am I the worst driver ever?

I got to g-tech my car last night. I did not have my slicks on (20x8x13) I just had my 17s. On the street I ran a 14.5 at 111mph! you think I can squeez a decent 12 out of this if I learn how to launch?

Your mph is there but the launch just isn't... but the street isn't the best place to practice launching. Don't spend money on mods until you can drive what you've got, and hit the track more often! I'm sure you'll see the ETs come down

I know I got to get to the track, I just wanted to know what I should be running when I go. I just dont want to go and have a helment on running 14.5 looking like a douch.

Don't forget that G-tech mph is very inaccurate. You mph was probably closer to 103-105. I ran 12.90@114mph on G-tech in my all motor hatch. And I know my car would never go above 105-107mph. It just didn't have that much power as it was a mild setup.

At the track, your mph is a average of two speeds taken at the beginning and end of the traps. On Gtech you only get the ACTUAL mph at the end of 1320 ft.

Never got to go before I got t-boned by an Expedition. On slicks, a high 12 would have made me happy. But with a 12.9 on street tires on GTECH I actually was shooting for 12.70 on slicks.
