Stock IX running 12's

I agree urslo4n8. Trap speed is definitely a strong indicator of what could be. For some reason I was pretty confident that I would be able to find several videos of people running stock IX's in the 12's. Guess I have heard so many people say it, that I thought it was a common occurrence. Now, after a lot of investigation, I am finding this to be a very unique occurrence, and one that has no actual proof to back it up, at least none that I can find.

As stated before it all depends on "your" definition of stock. Stock to some people is minor bolt ons; exhaust, intake, etc, with no turbo or motor mods. I have personally seen an EVO9 SE with just and exhaust and race gas run 12.3 ET.

106-17 traps equate to 270-280whp...yeah, some IXs really are that strong, and that's why they can also put down 350-360whp with basic stg1 mods on pump gas. Not all are this powerful, but in good conditions (50-60*, low humidity, sea level), they can scream.

the problem is that whenever i try to launch - if i 'slip' the clutch too slowly, there is lag, and acceleration is slow. and if i drop the clutch too fast, it boggs and almost stalls.
everyone tells me i have to raise the rpm to like 5000-6000, before letting off the clutch... whenever i let go of the clutch at 6000rpm, the needle only has another 1k rpm to go before redline, so i have to shift into 2nd gear... so if u think about it, 1st gear is barely enough for a split second.... hence the slow time. so i just dont get it, logically, how can u manage a good time ??
