Also, I think 13's wouldn't be out of the question with an exhaust and possible tune/reflash.
And yes, I am a 6MT.

My first thought is to agree with the driver error diagnosis, but what's the elevation of that track? I find it odd that your friend also has some disappointing times as well.
My first time at the track with my 05 resulted in 14.3 at 98+mph. That's bone stock, stock tires, 3/4 tank of gas, and spare. I launched at around 3000 rpm and shifted at 6800 rpm.

Let's go find a lonesome curvy road or track and compete for times and track position.
You want to drag race? Buy an old Nova, gut it and drop a huge, blown V8 in it with matching running gear and have at it.

Well at the track, for me, first gear did really spin that much. Not sure if they over prepped the track or whatever but when i dumped it...it just took off. I am putting stock cats and takin it to the dealership. When i get this oil consumption problem fixed I will take it back to the track and see wut's up. Thank you everyone for your responses.
