with a manual, in order to get really good 60' times you need to ride the clutch. try and launch around 3500 rpm but don't pop the clutch or the tires will light right up. you need to get a feel for where it starts to grab, and just ease up on the clutch, really ride it to get off the line.

other than that, bang the gears, (i think 5200 is the shift point iirc) and don't try to hold 3rd out to the end, because with stock gearing you will hit the rev limiter just before the finish line.

low 13s isn't out of the question.
