Default need for speed, cos on drag strip

Anyone got there cos for the drag strip if so i have reached a point where i cant get any lower times than low 10's maybe high 9's? Cars around me are doing it in 8's with less brake horse. I am up to the top with stage 3 everything, any help or do i need a diff car??

Are you guys using the clutch option

Manually clutching and shifting is FAR quicker

Ill give that a go. Ive used the clutch for drifting when i want to change direction but didnt think to try it on drag.
