I think you need to wear pants and have a helmet, right?

Yup, gotta wear pants and have a helmet if you run under 14sec.

I'm on right lane.
This run was with traction control on & car bogged a lil' bit off the line.



I tried a couple other launch techniques and got horrible times.
I guess bottom line is i need drag radial or slicks to improve my 60' time.

Anyone have experience using both drag radial and slicks?
Are they night & day difference in terms of traction?
By using drag radial or slicks, how much would they improve 60' time?

Cool

Check out heading "What a launch!" for good 60 ft times on Hoosier road racing tires.

Thanks for link Peter! Your car simply looks awsome! Where did you get your Philips 6000k and how much? Was thinking of changing my fog lights to those but not really sure if they're worth it or not?

Thanks JamE55. I think the Philips D2s 6000K were around $235 for the pair. Can't remember exactly.
I bought them from amgc32 (Charlie). Are your fogs HID?
I use the D2s for my headlights. For my fog lights, i use 9006.
