Great times. Even for an auto that 60' is impressive, much better than I expected. I plan on taking my manual to a track here when I have some free time later this month. If anyone wants to meet sometime in late June at Sac Raceway we could have some friendly competition :D
I take it you just foot braked it on the launch... what RPM did you launch at? Also, what RPM did you (or the car's computer) shift at?
And in response to the reaction time question: Launch before you see the green light. It really depends on the track, but usually I drop the clutch between the second and third yellow light. How I nailed it down was to actually run a few red runs (the time still counts, even if you "lose") and work up from there. I was nailing consistent .500-.510 back in college (which was the last time I had a car at the strip.)
