Default What went wrong?

I just got back from the track. It was the first time I have ever ran any car let alone my 92 hatchback. Going into it I was expecting high to mid 14's. First run was a 16.4 at 84 miles an hour! That run I was shifting at about 5200rpm. I ran 5 times and my best time was 16.05@87mph. Every run I tried a different shift point, and I was going off the line at 2500rpm. Shifted at 4500 rpm, still in the 16's, shifted at 6000rpm, still in the 16's!!! What am I doing wrong? Is my car really that slow?O yea, my 60 fts were between 2.1 and 2.4, and my 1/8 miles were in the 9's and 10's. Granted I am not an experienced driver, i was ripping through the gears as fast as i could. Thanks for any advice.
