Dixit

some have already..even 4th gens..

14.3 is good..especially if u've never driven a manual tranny and had a horrible launch..happens to all of us...when i went to drag race in my car for the first time, i smoked my tires for like full 5 secs..

correct - timer for your elapsed time doesn't start until your car breaks the laser beam at the start line. Actually there are two beams - the first one you use to stage your car, the second starts the e.t. when you hit it. You could sit there for 2 seconds and have a 2.xx reaction time and it would make no difference in your elapsed time. Of course, the guy next to you would be WAY down the track by then and "beat" you to the finish line.

In drag racing, the winner of a race is NOT necessarily the one with the fastest e.t.

Awesome time. Out of curiousity, what RPM were you shifting at and what gear did you end up in at the end of the 1/4?
