Is there something wrong with my car?
Here's my best slip of 9 runs...

It's a 100% stock manual LS 4dr. I could never get a good launch out of it, it either bogged or lost traction, either way the trap speed seems a little low. Just want to see what you guys think.

I say this with respect to you but it is true, your 60' times are REALLY horrible
, so don't worry, your car is fine. Get some practice, get some 2.2 60', that is a normal decent 60' for street tires. By the way don't take it to serious i'm just giving you a hard time. But really, do practice launching because a 2.7 is honestl very very poor. Better luck next time.

Yeah 82 seems dam low (I thought trap speed wasn't affected by 60'?)... It is manual. At first I thought it was my driving, but after 9 runs in it I'm just thinking it's the combo of the tires and the top-end only honda powerband leading me to these 60's. I beat a CRX that was trapping 89 that run because he got a 4.4 60', so I guess I'm not the worst driver out there. Either way, I'm not taking this car too seriously, it's my fuel miser daily and I was just getting some experience before taking the GTA out. I didn't know people could launch that well on street tires and FWD, learn something new every day. My tires are dunlop SP sports I think, not the best street tire for grip, and it's on steelies with hubcaps which might have hurt the trap.

i get 2.3 60 ft's on my horrible hankook tires which suck monkey *****. i launch at 3500 rpm and feather the clutch out, or else i have no traction. Either way when i hit vtec i lose traction again. With my 2.3 60ft in my DA with a b18c1 i hit a 14.6@95.
