If it's a manual, it will be about 14.6 and an auto runs about 15.4. The wheels and tires will slow you down by about a .1.

It's all in the 60' time. People running in the 14's have sub 2.0 times. If you can get your 60' time to 1.8, you be in the mid 14's for sure.

It's a fine line between wheel spin and engine bog. The trick is to keep the revs up to keep the turbo spinning. I have an auto that i race with so I can't comment too much on technic but from what others say, revs engine to 4k and slip clutch until engine speed and vehicle speed match up. I have tried some launches with my other WRX that's a manual and it does take some practice. I maybe going to Infinion Raceway on 1-1-03 so maybe I'll see you there. My advise is practice makes perfect. Even with an auto, it took me 10-15 runs before I really figured it out.

StankFootZ runs Sac all the time. I might have to go with you one time. Last time I went my car ran poor. I was lucky to be in the 13's. Now with the redyno-tune, I sould be running faster.
