    I've only ran it a few times on street tires, 4 to be exact. It really spins, a lot. You have to get the perfect balance of spin. First 2 runs were awful, all spin. Then went home b/c the clutch was brand new and I kinda slipped it on the second run. Second time I went did a 13.4, then a 13.3. Can't launch it, it will lose traction if you let it go at 2500-3000 completely. So I'm rolling off the line, getting a 2.2 60', and a 107 mph. so It definitely has 12's in it,just have to have a little more seat time. Slicks for sure 12's would be easy. I beat the 2002 camaro SS w/ bolt ons and a new g8 gt.

    thats not bad.
    i would try launching it around 1500rpms and about a little more than 3/4 throttle thru first gear. i think with the car on some good street tires it has capabilities to hit at least a 12.9 like maybe some street slicks.
    i know another guy who had a hatch and had the same problem. he couldn't get past like 13.3's but he was also running some random off the way hard tires. didn't grip for anything. and spun just about all the way down.
