No offense, but I think you may need to work on your technique a little further. These cars are at least 1/2 second faster with the 2.0L and MT.

yeah, times are a little off but beating a faster car is always a plus.

Probably never.

I only got a best of 16.8 in the P5 stock. I know of an MP3 that isn't stock and he can't even beat my stock time so......

in my P5 with an ebay SRI I ran a 16.4s. Now I have my header with MIL eliminator and soon to be Haltech F10X....I think 15's are very easy to hit on street tires.

Stock intake (if you have one) might be the culprit

That's pretty good. Do you have a time slip?
