Very impressive I'm sure you have a few people wondering what they are doing wrong. Have the heads had any work to them?

No, this was stock heads. Just got a new set though, they go on next.

What RPM do you launch at? And are slipping the clutch or side stepping it? I just recently started tracking my car and my 60ft times are awful. Also what suspension mods do you have, if any?

He has a video (post #3) of his run that shows everything you need to know and how he does it, very informative if you really pay attention to what's going on, make it full screen and you can see the rpm and hear the clutch being slipped for roughly 6' to 10' or a second.

Aluminum rear cradle bushings (very important for M6)
Toe rods and trailing arms.

Darn near speechless on my end! Great job!

You are definitely doing something right so I have 2 questions:

First, it looked like you pulled the park break on a bit at the tree (not much) and didn't really let it off until you moved forward a couple of feet?

Second, how is the rubber band around the shifter benefiting you?

Thanks!

Not a rubber band but a speed secret.... Not sure I see a rubber band there?
