My best was 13.90 @104 mph stock. I launch around 5500 rpm, and ease into the gas as I release the clutch, so my rpms start climbing right away, with little to know wheelspin.

How long before somebody says, "This car is not built for drag racing."

A "side step" is when you have the clutch pushed all the way down, and release it by moving your foot off the pedal to the side, letting the springs return the pedal to the top as quickly as they can.

104 is a VERY high trap speed for a stock s2k. i am trapping at 104-105 and i am about 20+whp up on you my friend.
