I would kill to run at a good track at sea level!!! 
I agree here. Alot has to do with the driver, track, traction at the line. If someone knows how to drive their car, then there shouldn`t be any problem. When I ran my car stock, I was running mid 15`s. Then when I got used to the car, I was able to learn to drive it. A lot of people are just beginners (just like me). It takes time to learn how to launch, where to shift, how to shift etc....
