60ft problem that's it no beating around, if I take your car and cut a 1.6 to 1.7 the time will come down to around 13.7 and your mph will automatically go up. Seat time is the key here just get the hang of it and you will be fine, then you can mod the car later if you wish to do so!

In my experience, MPH is pretty much independent of 60' time. I've run 60' times between 1.73 and 2.9x and never had my MPH vary by more than about 2 MPH. The 2.9x 60' was almost a 15 second run, but the MPH was pretty much the same as I'd run all night.

One possibility: really slow shifting. That drops the RPMs and boost way down between gears. However, since the OP has a MR with the dual-clutch tranny, he's not impacted by shift speed. Two other things: watdafreak4 - what RPM are you shifting at? And aren't the X MRs generally slower than non-MRs at the drag strip (because of the extra weight?).

Ok so I went again and best time was a 13.931.. I turned off TC put it snow AWD and I left it on automatic. I got some extra tips from a friend of mine today so I will try them out next time I go to the drag strip. I will keep you guys posted.
