How about we try and help the guy instead of mocking him...

What was the 60ft time?
What time and date was your runs at LID?
What was the 1/8th time and mph?
Did you use no lift shift?
Did you use launch control?
Was the car ran cold or warmed up?

yo wurrrrrrd. When I ran my Escalade with 22's... I mean, Cobalt SS Supercharged, at the track, the hardest part was that launch. After that I was rollin l's and sippin on syrup all the way to the 1320' line.

then I have to ask... If it's that old, and you don't like the name, then why didn't you use a different user name when you created your account only 1 year ago? I honestly don't care either way seeing as how I was only being a ball buster, but you just can't use the excuse of "my screen name is mad old its back when I was in highschool" as a defense for an account that's only 1 year old.....

just sayin..

yeah, don't use launch control anymore. launch a little lower rpm. maybe 2000-2500.
don't ride the clutch all thru first, you could burn it. just release it quickly and smoothly, but don't "pop" it. at the same time applying more gas. it should all be a smooth quick transition taking a total of about 3/4 of a second.
