So I asked how should I launch, but didn't get an answer cause it was my turn to go. And then the worst happened. I rev it up to 4000 and dumped the clutch
, and it felt like crap - my reaction was +.7701, and I was shifting at 6500 rpm and was shifting pretty smoothly because I haven't really raced Evo yet (earlier today I missed 2nd, so I was trying not to do the same mistake again) I ran 15.2928 
. I had one evo owner in the car with me next time, he told me he was going to watch and see what I was doing wrong (except those things I did already), but then rain started and it happened to be my only run for tonight.
I'm suspecting something wrong with my Evo because as far as I know Evos should run about high 13's stock. I know I messed it up big time (but I'm not that bad of a driver
), but with my poor reactions, my 6500 rpm shifts and smooth shifts is that about the time I should have ran???? Or should I have ran better? I mean was that my bad run + something wrong with the car or was that just a very bad run????? I reved it up so those 2 guys could hear my engine and maybe could tell if anything was wrong with it, but just by revs they told me everything seems to be fine.
By the way thanks to the Red EVO owner and his friend whatever their usernames are here.
P.S My evo is all stock, and I still beat slightly modded 98 Prelude SH
, he's my friend, but he had a poor start also. But his SH doesn't even stand close to EVO

4k launch? On a stock Evo I don't think there's anyway you can get into the 13s.
Why not a rev limiter drop....all you'll need is a backup tranny and clutch...
