I thought it would be faster with that level of power. Looks like the 60 ft times are killing you, I think you would be closer to 14 or high 13's if you could get a good 60 ft time. Probably a better road race car than a 1/4 mile race car. Thanks for posting.
1/4 mile result - 14.6 sec

Yes I expect a better time for this car as well. But when I compare with Civic type R FD2 I feel a bit better.I thought it would be faster with that level of power.

Your car is definitely capable of a much faster time, it's just your 60 ft times that are slowing your down, getting off the line. For every .1 seconds you can reduce 60 ft times you will reduce 1/4 mile times by .2 seconds. A really good 60 ft time is 2.0 - 2.2 secs, so you have lots of potential if you can knock the numbers down with a better launch.Yes I expect a better time for this car as well.

What kind of tires are you running ? Maybe you can drop that 60ft with some slicks or something ? But will the axles hold up with that ?
Yes this is 1.5T CVT, will test with 1.5T MT soon see how it doing.Your car is definitely capable of a much faster time, it's just your 60 ft times that are slowing your down, getting off the line.

The tires for this car still stock. Definitely with slicks will have better time.What kind of tires are you running ? Maybe you can drop that 60ft with some slicks or something ? But will the axles hold up with that ?
Do you use any traction aids like "pimp juice" in the burnout box or just the good ol' water ?
