your close, 18.1 at 78 in the 1/4. However, I ran once and think I know how to accellerator better now. Don't use full throttle off the line, seems to go quicker at around 1/2 throttle at the very first. Need to try some more runs and compare. also, have more miles on it now and that should help.

Question

Do you have the ABS and traction control? Just wondering if thats why its quicker going out at 1/2 throttle?

Is that a 5 spd or auto?

Mine is a automatic, no abs/traction control. It seems to repond quicker at the very first at half throttle instead of "flooring it". Maybe too much gas/air at full throttle at the line.

Don't fret folks. These PT's will be popular enough that the aftermarket will surely step up the performance, regardless of what DC does.
