Drag times not adding up!

[MKIV]

Frustrating to say the least, I'm still hitting low 13's.

I'll summarize the key numbers. (Note: this is test and tune so disregard r/t)

60": 2.5 seconds
1/4 mile: 13.3 seconds
mph: 115mph

According to others I've spoke to, cutting my 60" time could get me to the low 12's.

Any input?

Your 60ft is too slow try to have some traction. your car have the speed to hit 12 sec easy.

Thinking of investing in a pair of slicks. Lol

Looking at photo of your car, probably too much camber on rear wheels when squating which reduces contact patch on tyres (due to lowering car too low).

Raise ride height of car until reduces camber on rear when squating (stock ride height, from memory that was 370mm front, 350mm rear and measured from middle of wheel to top of archway), adjustable arms on rear of car, softest setting with damping on rear.

Also fit stock 16" R32 GTR rims with drag slicks. Street tyres are not compatible with dragstrips. If do run a street tyre, BFG or Nitto drag radials.

Also can play with rear subframe angle to get more traction (Whiteline pineapple bushes).

what RPM you launching at? how much HP do you make to the wheels? What kind of tires do you have?do you ride the clutch until you get traction? We need info from you first

Drag radials and drive it like you stole it and you just might crack the 11s. Perfecting the launch and getting down to a 1.7 sec. 60 ft and you are mid to low 12s with no other changes. Every 10th you knock off the 60' is worth a tenth and a half at the other end. 115mph is more than enough to go mid 12s.

Also can load it up against the handbrake to lock drivetrain (reduces shock on drivetrain).

you just have to be quick with your hands and feet at the same time haha

You could defiantly improve that 60foot
I managed a 1.9 60'' with bald street tires are -3.5 of camber with lots of wheel spin
