2.5 60 ft is pretty high...work on the launch and you could maybe get your car into 10 flat...

ExospeedAMcrx

you can work on your 60ft.
its possible to drop down 1/2 a sec on the 60ft. with just a good launch.
I was getting 2.0 60's on stock radials by just launching right and feathering the gas. Stay at low RPMS also at the lanch.. once you dump the clutch, it'll go high but dont let it go to high so you dont get too much wheel spin. give just enough gas and then floor it once you feel its grabbing..

just takes practice and knowing how your car acts.

good luck

all of my reaction times are a consistant .6** and all of my 1/8 are a consistant 10.3***, i just couldn't break into the 9's, and i pretty much launched at 3500 to 4000 everytime. some guy there said its pretty much an average time for a civic si that is almost stock and weights 2600 pounds. do any of you know how to calculate this to quarter mile times? some official told me how but i just totally forgot.

ExospeedAMcrx

reaction times doesnt make a diff in the 1/8 and 1/4 mile times
you can react 2 minutes later and still get the same times.

the main thing to work on is the 60ft.

Kamin

so how do i improve my 60'?

CashedEG

better lauching, better tires , better suspension, stay out of the water on street tires.

i know my tires suck ***! my suspension is more than good enough, and i pretty sure that i need to launch on at a higher rpm than 3500-4000

airon

60' is the hardest thing but you gotta practice!
