My R32 is faster on the street than the track!?

I went to the track this weekend for my first shakedown runs on pumpgas and street tires and was a victim of wheel hop which hurt my launches pretty badly. I was still feeling like the car was significantly faster on the street 0-60 but my brother said I was crazy so I went out and tested again on the street and here are the logs from the Haltech.

0 mph in first to 7460 rpms in 3rd:

At the track with antilag at 5,250 rpms= 8.495 sec on [email protected] mph.(0-60 mph is 4.01 sec)

On the street no antilag just 5,250 rpms limiter until 2 mph= 8.474 sec (0-60 mph is 3.71 sec)  <--also note that I actually shifted SLOWER going into 3rd!)

So 11.70 @ 120 on the track is likely quicker on the street in my car. It's strange, without the wheel hop it spins a tiny bit then just ROCKETS out of the hole. For some reason this is just faster in every way.Also the front NISMO LSD is the only NON-stock part in my entire drivetrain downstream of the Super coppermix twin clutch. I will be changing rear subframe bushings because one is oozing goo out of it now. Also the coilovers are old school HKS Hyper D (read EXTREMELY STIFF).

Too much traction on the track and the engine bog down a little. Stuff more boost in it, problem solved. 

I think on the street you get the "just what it need" in terms of wheelspin to pull the car efficiently from the start line.

With better traction on the track where tons on rubber lie on the ground you just "stall" the car. Plus it seems you lifted the throttle on track during first gear. Well just my opinion I'm no expert in drag racing.

Makes sense...I did pedal it on that run. It was my fastest run of the night and 2nd best 60'.
