Oh, you have a nice color on your car! LOL
Alright..so it all makes sense then. The loss of traction, plus the car shutting down for a moment after hitting the limiter is definitely enough to destroy a quarter mile run.

So on that thought...I'm thinking that an auto equipped STS V6 would maybe be the easiest to get fast times out of? It would eliminate the issue of hitting the limiter I'm guessing if left in sport mode...but manual mode could cause the same issues....hrrmmmm. You'd also not lose so much boost between shifts. That said, I think getting mid to low 13s should be easily doable in an auto STS equipped car.....wouldn't you think???

Oh, and Aqua Blue Metallic for the WIN!!!!!!!!!! lol
