Aside from the bog on launch did you bog on your 1-2 shift or at any other time on your way to a 5.09?

It was clean except for the launch, might of even gotten a little second gear scratch, maybe (lots of other noise and shit at that point in time) .

It's talk like that, RT, which tempts me to shit-can both my manufacturer's and extended warranties, and buy 90 more HP at the rear wheels.

Well, it's gonna be ugly... but my first run was abismal... I missed 2nd and got a 0-60 time of 6.5 (heh).... the 2nd run I tried it off idle and got a 6.1 or 6.2.

Dropping the clutch at 7k I didn't get any tire spin which seems odd... not that I've ever dropped it that high before but I thought it would based on comments from the board. Not sure if it matter that I had a friend in the passenger seat but a 5.4 is what it clocked at.

I've got wide feet and cant side-step to save my life. I do find however I can get great wheelspin if I lift my heel (pointed toes) and release real fast. I always seem to scorch the clutch if I try it with my heel planted.
