We've gotten some of us together in Tampa Bay area at Bradenton Motor Sports. Don't know where you are in Florida. I asked you that in your other thread. 
My best time for 1/4 mile was 13.96 in 93 degrees.
Here is our post from our trip to the track:

* VDIM off doing the foot dance
* PWR button on
* Put it in 6th gear on sport mode / Let it shift by itself
* And launched at about 1500 RPM
I was running 13.7 consistently in 90+ degree heat and humidity....

I pretty much did what Payam did plus:
* removed spare tire and jack
* ran my rear tires at 28 PSI
Temps were around 75*F and I ran 13.4-13.5s (with a best of 13.36 but it was 50*F out).

-DIM off and In Drive
-Stock tire pressures
-PWR mode for tranny on
-80 deg F
-No car weight reduction
-Just mash the pedal on the 3rd yellow.
Car had very little tire spin, but enough that VDIM would pull the power and keep me from going below a 14.0 at 99mph. As soon as I disabled VDIM, I hit 13.6's and 13.7's at just under 101mph consistently.

I thought VDIM was just to prevent the skidding, and traction control was to prevent the tire spin? How/why does VDIM have the effect that it did?
