    Not to insult you or anything, but since you do have a manual, it could be because of poor shifting.

    Seen a z28 run mid 14's consistant because of it. (ls1 z28)

        Like they all said, it could be alot of things. Look into new tires and LSD for your 60 ft. Has yor car been maintained lately? Check/change fuel filter, plugs/wires, EGR, PCV, ect. And maybe its just a bad track to race at, who knows! Just some ideas for ya.

          just go back and practice.

          Could have been a bad day at the track. mytrack sucks and occasionally has "bad" dayds wehere no one gets traction and everyone's times are slower then usual.

          I also heard some rumors, that the track was recently tested and found to be a little bit longer ten a 1/4 mile. But I doubt that.

          Weather as a factor. I rana 15.9 and a 16.5 all in the same night, I missed a shift, butfixed it wuickly on the 16.5, but thats still a big differnece.
