Because his tires are spinning.

Jackie Chan said:forget the mods right now, just go to the track and drive it, you can mod all you want but thats not going to help. you will have a lot more fun improving than modding and running the same ****ty times....and once you get the hang of driving, thats when it gets really fun. ask the guys at the track that are running good times for some pointers

The car was bone stock and a 5speed. I banged gears and spun down the track, i was hoping for high 13's and was pretty pissed off when I didnt get the timeslip I wanted. While I still drive like a woman, i have now managed to get the car into the high 13's with the minor bolt ons. You need to control your 1st - 2nd tire spin, and especially ride the clutch a little to control your takeoffs. If you are spining your tires, you arent going anywhere. if you can keep that in your head while shifting and letting out the clutch, you will lower your time. My 60ft time never gets any better but i think the 1st - 2nd tirespin is the key to getting down the track quicker.
Ministry has a song called "Jesus built my hot rod". IM glad to know that its a GT.

Once you can, then get some more mods. Like Jackie Chan said, don't buy more mods to cover up a lack of skill. I started off running mid 14's when I first started racing and after a few months i got it down to 13.99 bone stock. Then I added the exhaust mods and now I have steeda pullies and Timing adjuster on the counter at home to be installed. Like I said earlier, get your times down to where they should be with practice before throwing more mods at it.
