2002 e55 goes to the track: 14.1 @99
I went to LACR (LA county raceway)
***ESP turned off***
The car just chirped the tires a few times out of the hole ...
60 foot was 2.2
corrects to ~13.8
It is all stock what am I doing wrong ???
I have k&n s and thermo tech pad on the way ...

I whish I had my corrected mph !!
track was at 3000 feet
about 55 degrees with 60 humidity ..
I think that my 60 foot times really need work ...
I have about 30psi in the rear tires and did not get a chance to lower to 25
I was loading the engin at 800 rpm ..
I should have tried just hitting the gas, the weight transfer may have been better

The elevation is definitely the problem in your pass. Your time and trapspeed is on par with that of a stock E36 M3.
If I were you and I wanted to record a personal best pass..I would remove the spare from the trunk, remove the bottom portion of the back seat, set tire pressure at 40psi in the fronts and the rears at 16-20psi. With all that said..you would have shaved off some weight and added more rubber surface for a better launch.
