I have a "cheap plastic" htc Evo and that thing is SICK. I also have that app on my phone and it seems to be pretty accurate...but I don't have anything to compare my times to and it could be way off and I wouldn't know the difference.

Flip phone FTW. I don't need some do it all phone and I'm not attached at the hip to my phone. Also don't need to spend an extra $30 a month for the internet when I have a laptop already...

I have the Casio Ravine, the 'durable' i guess you could call it phone and love it. I work in a sawmill so the dust proof factor really does pay off along with the fact that it is stronger than most/all other phones. If I had a touch screen it would be destroyed in a matter or days lol.

Anyway, I'll stop thread jacking.

15 seconds isn't bad for a truck. Our trucks (especially in 4wd trim) are not meant to be fast. So you can't really expect too much. I would like to see how mine compares to others being a manual but that's probably only good for a tenth or two depending upon how I drive lol. Unless you do substantial mods, none of our trucks will see numbers in the 13s or even 14s for that matter.

14s is definitely achievable when i first used the app on my phone i just did it to see if it would work i didn't even preload the suspension or get a even respectable launch and got a low 15 i gotta use the app again at some point

You guys have to remember too that these apps aren't spot on.
