Yeah, I turned off traction control. I didn't look at the RPMs, but I did just enough where I felt the car pushing on the brakes slightly. I barely had any tire spin that way, thus the decent 60 foot times (I think they were decent... I was able to pull of 1.6 and 1.7s in my old STI, so 2.0 for RWD can't be horrible). Yeah, I just wanted to let you all know how I did with a completely stock car. I'll probably post them on dragtimes.com ...
Smokyis350, what mods do you have to your IS? 13.1 is an excellent time and is right where I'd like to be IOT call it a day.

Edit: My times were done with less than 1/4 of gas.

I have AFE Stage 2 intake, Nvidia midpipe, and F-sport exhaust. But I do have 19 inch wheels but still managed to pull a 2.04. I ran consistent 13.1 approximately 4x in ~60degrees weather.

If I went with just the F-Sport exhaust and Joe Z intake, would I see gains? How much louder would it be? I have 2 kids, so I don't want it to be too loud. I sold my STi because it was beyond loud (well, no cat will do that I guess).
