What I like!
Keep in mind the car rags often adjust their actual figures for temperature, humidity and elevation. Those seem like good times to me. The fastest I've ever been down the 1/4 mile was a 14.28

What was your trap speed?

What was the temperature outside, did you just stomp on it with wheel spin or did you feather the throttle?

hard break in or by the manual?

for most power hard break in is the way to go on any engine.

i'd put a few more miles on it though, change oil/filter, then run it again.

try esp off, and try few more times
what kind of launch technique did u use?

and make sure the road is not uphill. Temperature is another major factor. If u try it again in winter, would be faster than 12.8sec forsure.

Car&Driver did 3.9 / 12.3@116mph.

Good luck on ur goal to reach this score!

If your getting traction the run w ESP off.Track prep is key here.I nail 1.83 60' times all day long and dip into 1.80 w ESP off,but my stock tires are definitely the limiting factor.

With ESP on I average 1.90-1.95 60' times consistently
