You were so fast on the first one the camera could not keep up.
Sounded like you spun pretty good on the first one, you planning on getting some sticky tires?
If not I used to run my street tires between 18-20 psi and they hooked a little better. Make sure you have only 1/8 - 1/4 tank of gas, pull out the spare, jack,floor mats anything not bolted down. Don't do a burnout just spin them a couple times to get them clean. Drive around the water box so your fronts don't drag any water to the line. Practice feathering the clutch out so you can launch at a higher rpm. Make sure you are not short shifting that will kill your time and trap speed. Take off the rear wing and the front sway bar. If you are feeling up to it yank the back seat out also, it only takes 5-10 minutes. You can also pull the headlight for a little ram air action. All that will get you 2-3 miles per hour and maybe a tenth or two, lol. But desperate men take desperate measures.
Also put your front tires to 45 psi also. Good luck!
