Steve, your time and speed is almost identical to my G8. I have the same issue in the middle too. What kind of 60 ft's are you getting?

Are you on street tires, or have you added some DR's for the front? That solved my Flex launch issues by cutting spin on front. Of course it may be more needed on Flex as most of the weight difference between SHO & Flex is in the back, where it hinders by keeping rears hooked up, and allowing fronts to spin more which frequently caused my TC system to shut car down to prevent AWD damage.
2010 Red Candy/White EB Flex.. World's first 12 second Brick.. 12.904 @ 106.85 MPH - October 2011
2009 Spt. Red G8 GT - modded. best time 12.074 & 114.02 MPH
2008 White G8 GT - mods... 8.32 1/8 mi.

I have been using Hankook Ventus 20" for 2-3 years now, every summer and have neer had any traction issues.
My 60ft with the 2013 is now 1.73... Always under 1.80.
2013 do lainch better, but with my current tuning, the car is still slower than my 2010.
With the downpipes and the 2013 being supposely faster, I expect it to be a high 11' car at 117-119+ mph car.
I hope that Livernois will crack it soon!

Good luck Shoman04!
Your car is lighter and has all my mods... In cold weather, you should break into 11's. At least, LMS already is able to tune 2010-2012 more aggressive.
With my 2013 and all those mods, I thought I would have been ableto get into the 11's, but they haven't been able or taken the time to tweak their stage 5 for the 2013 yet...
