cmon sexy, just ONE 5500 launch! I DEMAND YOU TRY. Just kidding.

To be EXTREMELY honest, and i am not trying to offend. But psychology has a big role in racing, like many others have said, its not the car, its the driver. I doubt its your shifting, so lets go a level beyond that. You want to get better times, but are you afraid to push your Si?
I know we all try to care for our Civics anyway we can, but we cant baby them and expect to get good results from them. >=T
See what your Si can do! Let it be "free". The Si is meant to be pushed! So dont cage in your little baby, let it spread its metaphorical "wings", and fly.

PS- i dunno where the above came from, but it felt right to say it. Just offering some advice

Launch at 4k and feather out the clutch. You're going to kill your car though.
