When you say the last yellow do you mean the top most before lock on the dccd? Also how do you slip the clutch? How are people who say they are pulling 13.1's bone stock doing it? Are they lieing?
Leaving (launching) on the last yellow referring to the staging lights on the Christmas tree. I have a WRX ('rex'), not an STi - no DCCD.

I slip the clutch as I stated in my previous post. Let it out too fast and the car will bog for a couple of seconds - too slowly and the clutch will burn up (I can smell the clutch material in the cabin within seconds). It takes practice but a good launch will be reflected in your 60 ft times.

Locally, guys with stock STis are pulling low-13 second E.T.s, but lightly modified STis are pulling in the 12.50s to 12.80s and trapping up to 109 MPH.

104 stock, lightly modded 109.

An 8mph gain OVER that in a stock turboed/pumpgas awd car is ALOT. That's all.

when i took her with street tires i was getting 2.6+ 60' and still trapping 101-102 @ low 13s

12.8 with a 1.91 60ft..... You take off 3 tenths there, down to a 1.6 60ft that 3 tenths in the 60ft = 6 tenths in the quarter look at that a 12.2@109..... Which has been done a FEW times now with a BPU rb25 in a 240sx. Trapping between 109-111.

continue?
