By the way, your 60 foot times are horrid. (Reaction 1)

You can get them down into consistent 2.0-2.2 range with more practice. Don't give it so much gas/clutch off the line. Best method I've found to launch the redline without bogging is to rev to 4500 or so, and slowly let the clutch out. This gives enough forward motion to not break the tires loose, but not so little as to bog the motor down to 1500-2000 rpms and kill the turbo's spool. On a well prepped track, you may even see 1.9 or 1.8 60 foot times. And its a no brainer, but disable traction control
Each of these runs happened about 20 minutes from each other as the timestamp on the slips shows. I was burning the tires at launch a little, which killed my reaction times. I think with some practice I can get it down to 14.5's @ 2700ft altitude which is more like 14.0 with everyone elses.

Traction control was first turned off, then I switched over to competitive mode. I couldn't really tell a difference in the two settings. With it on, it was terrible (the 15.8 time).
