I hit a 1.85 60ft on my 235 pirellis at 32 psi and 3K launch. Granted the track was prepped well and I have been racing for over 10 years.

I launch at idle on drag radials and get high 1.8's and low 1.9's to the 60' mark. I totally disable traction control and advancetrac. Whenever I try to launch higher, the car noses over like the traction control is on (even though it isn't) and it runs 2.2's or worse. I'm baffled and can't tell if my tune is the culprit. I've successfully drag raced stick shift cars (including many Mustangs) over the past 30 years.

The guy in this video says around 1700-1800 and he got 0-60 in 4.3 secs.
