Default Best 60' Time with a Scion

I'm looking to see where everyone's 60 times are around, tC, xB, xA's, any scion.

Please list what tires you have, what PSI they were set at, what RPM you launched at, and any other mods you have that helped you achieve that time.

I'll go first:
stock bridgestone potenza's @ 20PSI, slipped the clutch at 3,200RPMs, I/H/SS
this resulted in a best of a 2.26 60' time..

normally I get around a low 2.3..

Your welcome. See the difference between the two of us is that I'm mature and don't start $hit just b.c I don't believe something. Your 22 I thought you went through the maturity stage already!

How did I start anything with you? Read the subject/topic.. It doesn't say anything about you.

Yeah, seriously, I have no idea why she came in this thread and did that. I really wanted to know what some people's 60 foot times were.

Well, I do not race my xB for obvious reasons so I cannot tell you what my Scion does.

My 02 Celica GTS would usually pull a 2.2 or better when i was 'on it'. My best with that car was a 1.88. That was with Dunlop FM901's. Im not a firm believer in airing the tires down real low. That is honestly pointless with radials. To gain 1 tenth on your 60' and lose 2 tenths overall because your tires are 12lbs too low is stupid. With proper launching and driving technique airing the radials down is not neccasary.
