Your car is running about a second slower than a "stock" automatic normally runs on a "good" track.
Magazine roadtest from back when the Crossfire debuted, put the 6 sp at 14.7 to 14.8 with a 15.18 for the automatic coupes.
I'm not sure, but I think I remember reading that the magazine testers launched at around 2800RPM, and shifted just before reaching redline so they didn't accidently set off the rev limiter.
What exactly are the variables at the track that's causing your slower than normal times?
Glad to hear you were able to beat a 370 Z, not sure exactly how you did it, but it's good to hear.
Thanks for the help. I beat my friend just because I had a good start, so the race was actually over before we passed the first 60ft. His quarter mile time was much faster than mine but I still made it to the end before him.
As far as the variables, the track is just old and the staging area is really slick and warped, in Guam they mix sea shells and coral with the asphalt which doesn't help at all. I've also heard that the timing is off. I'll post some updated times on this thread next time I go.
