damn, so close to being under 16...that would have been nice! Good numbers though. I'd like to take mine someday, but I'm nervous I'll break something. Just being paranoid though.

i just used sports shift and shifted right at redline. I only have a 99 so no 5th gear. The last race I had one foot on the break and one on the gas and thats why my reaction was so fast. I should have done that the whole time because before i used one foot for both break and gas off the start. What is brake torque?

what mods do you have on your car that would ever give you the idea that there is a point to going to the track? i mean maybe if something was done to make it worth your time to pay money to go waste your gas but i mean, why put your stock family sedan on a track? if for fun..good answer. but you could go streetlight to street light for that.

I would have expected lower 1/4 times. I run high 14s, maybe just work on launching. Very good reaction time with some of those though. Kris should explain brake torquing?

keep in mind this guy has a 99 TL..
"torque braking" is where you step on the brake and push down the gas at the same time to get the rpm up.. then all you have to do when the tree lights up green is take your left foot off and slam down the right and you will already have a bit of power to help you take off a bit quicker..
and just FYI.. 12:30pm is fucking lunch time, so im sure there might be some kids around..

I'd love to run my TL-S on a 1/4 mile, but I'm afraid the other guys there with 11 and 12 second cars would just laugh. I am curious to see what it can do with the mods that I have done.
