It was a one shot deal, wheather conditions and a good launch is extremly important. If I get it right I can do 5.4s all day , screw up and it's 5.8. If I knew how hard it was for me to get that time, I should have taken a pic of the read out.
Now that I switched to 20's but wider tires, it's hard to say if I will do better or worse. This tire / wheel set up is actually lighter than with my old 19's, the overall diameter is the same with about an inch wider tread contact area. Just have to wait for the wheather to clear up to find out.

I don't think that's a bad real world time and beyond 60mph, I'll still continue to be pulling away. It's like rominl commented, on the street it's not like you would hit 60mph and then just let off. I'm good until 135mph, hopefully whoever I would race will be far behind by then.
And before any newbies step in with a response quoting a 5.9 sec magazine time for a stocker GS, I challenge them to prove it using a g-tech in real world conditions. What the mags report and what an everyday Joe off the street can do are two different things. Oh well that's another topic.
