The pitch factor doesn't have to do with the roads, its about how much your car lifts and squats when you launch and shift. Read your manual, adjust the pitch factor.
A stock evo doing a 13.6 wont trap 105 mph.

No, I said you shifted well on the first two shifts, not the first two gears. If you shift twice, your in third, leaving one more shift. I guess the trap is fine cause your launch might have been soft even though your 0-60 was decent, I don't know? I weigh 215, and my MR is about 3300 with some gas in it. You might wanna raise your weight, unless you have an RS and are pretty light yourself. Just an idea.

I put the weight at 3420, with me in it obviously. There could be a little user error there but that was my best guess with the curb weight of the car and myself.

As mentioned, I think it's a cool little unit and fun to compare cars, but I wouldn't use its data as 'real' numbers.

Also as mentioned, the unit I have (the blue colored Comp) you can set a rollout distance of 12 or 16 inches.

My WS6 is kinda weird since the 0-60 is about 3.0 yet the 1/4 mile is 11.9. I didn't even launch hard since I was on DR's. The 60ft. was 1.70 and the trap was 114mph. If I launched pedal to the floor it would have been a 1.5, making the 0-60 in the 2.8X range yet still only running mid 11's. It's an auto with a big converter though, so it's all hole-shot. The 450lbft of rwtq doesn't hurt either. I guess my point is 0-60 can be high or low and the 1/4 can be the same depending on the drivetrain setup.
