First time at the track

This is the first time I was able to run the car at the track since i bought it.. just wondering if my times are about right and if there is something else i can try. The car is completely stock has about 2400 miles on it.. I only had two runs and the best of the two which being the first time i launched the car was a 13.5@100 with a 1.9 60' . I was wondering if the mph was a little low and im sure my 60' could be a 1.7-1.8.

It looks like your trap speed is a little low compared to some of the other IX's that I have seen, but that is still a pretty good run.

Pretty good driving, but the mph is low even for an 03.

yeah i was wondering the same thing.. the time wasnt too bad for the mph but it seems like it fell off at the end.. i guess i need at least a boost gauge to see whats going on..

That's not short-shifting. That's right where you want to shift. Short-shifting is what I do - 6300-6400rpm due to altitude issues.
