for some reason the display looks all messed up on the video...have no idea why.If you pay attention at the end,it says 5.52 secs.

And Btw.
The Gentleman i work for owns that whole street it is a business district,curently it is under construction.If you saw a car on the video is because he was let trough by security.

Good run. I have the dynolicious app for the iPhone (flame if you want) and was getting mid 5.5s to 5.6's just flooring it. Then after messing around on launching after warming the tires up and and revving up to about 1800-2000 rpm ive been able to get down to the low 5.3's. This was all stock. Since i put on the Tanabe it's been a little better. Had a run the other day around a low 5.2, dont remember exact numbers. This is all with a 5AT too in DS mode, no paddles. With paddles it is to hard to shift right at redline.

Hello!
Well i actually did rev up to 2000 rpms the first few times,but there is too much wheel spin,even when trying to control the throttle i ended up loosing too much precious time by trying to control the throttle.
So without reving up,i got better times.

Yeah i have problems with wheel spin sometimes too, but on my best runs before the run id do a quick burnout through first gear to get the tires warmed up then when i did the run and revved up to 2000 it hooked up almost perfectly.

The best way is to hold your left foot on the brake,rev up to 2000rpms release the brake and floor it.
Wrong way is to rev it up in neutral then drop it in D

Trade in your car and get a manual then clutch in and hold the revs to about 2.5k then release clutch and apply gas
