Your car is a beast. Thats great time on runflats.
On INVOs and my first time driving Manual Car (06Z06), best I could do (my first 5 runs at the track with 06 Z06)
2.5584 60ft..I need serious practice
12.97@121
I need to get my 60ft down to 2.0 to see 11s time slips.
Great job getting car in low 12s stock!

that trap speed is def enough to get you 11s. my first trip to the track with a manual in my 08 on runflats the best i could do 60ft wise was 2.2 but soon later brought it down to 2.0. My best tip for you since your on streets is to pick a low rpm to launch out where u wont spin to much my 2.0s i left around 1700 and right directly after i stage ill fully engage the clutch and slowly start pulling it out towards to point where it grabs keeping that launch rpm steady and as you see those yellow light coming down perferablly the last one slowly let the clutch out and once you start moving proceeded to let the clutch out and start laying into the gas good luck getting into the 11s i went out with my nitto drags the other night it was really crowded so i only got 2 passes in but coming out around 2300 i had 1.93 60ft and ran a 12.15 @117 tuesday i plan on leaving a bit harder and getting into the 11s

Yea, i was launching at around 1800 rpms and just feeding the gas. It also seemed to help when i shifted to 2nd at around 6200 and it grabbed instead of a lot of tire spin i had on the first pass when i went 12.49 @ 115.65. The only thing i don,t like about the car so far is the stock shifter, sometimes pulling 2nd or 3rd is liking hitting a brick wall. Does an aftermarket shifter help?

You guys have amazing times.
I will keep practicing and eventually hit that 11s
Only thing i got on the car now is KB Intake and ported TB along with NItto INVO tires.
I only ran car so far 10 times. First 3 runs i was at 2.8 60ft, then next track visit i went down to 2.558 and hopefully as i go more often, it will go down to 1.9-2.0 at which point i will see 11.999 or better. (car is capable of that, but driver is not. LOL)
Good times guys
take care

Just keep practicing, from last year to this year i lowered my et from 12.70 to 12.40 and trap speed went up from 113.5 to 117. Seems to me that it's mostly in the launch and of course shift points. Last year i was shifting aroungn 6200 and this year aroung 6500. Also, keeping rpms down to around 1800 on the line and letting the torque work seems to work real well.
but alot is from the motor breaking in
