Practice your launch!
Whom ever know's how to properly heat their tires & launch will win.

I was just being brutally honest. The OP came on here asking for advise and confirmation most likely he doesn't know his car well. You be surprised how many Z owners go FI and drive like a grandma to car shows for bragging rights.

A decent burnout is absolutly needed to warm up the tires, street or DR, or else no way under 2 sec 60'

Also remember to pull the brake fuse so you can actually do a burnout. Following my procedure for my bone stock Z, I was able to hit 12.9 on the quarter. And yes most likely i had tail wind as I couldn't replicate it for the next 50 passes lol
