your 60 ft kinda sucks, but work on it and your ET's will improve considerably. Did you rev it up before launching? That will help too with the auto.

If you put it into a 1/8 mile to 1/4 mile converter I'm getting it at 14.00 for a 1/4 mile off those times.

you need to get to the dealership and have them print off your codes to see if you have hte 2.59 or the 3.07

The numbers are average for street tires...they show you are spinning out of the hole which is expected for street tires...
