I ran yesterday solid 13.5 most of the day with 2.2 best 60' times. I totally forgot to let the air out of my tires i was running around 30 PSI I also ran with a full tank. My question is what is a respectable 60' for a M6 ..... and a respectable 1/4. I am basically in stock form I have a holley filter and FRA thats it. Thanks

1) check out the local scene: Eastern F-body Association

2) respectable IMO to me is 1.9-2.0 or so on street tires, less than 2.0 on DRs and less than 1.7 on slicks. Get your tire pressure down a bit, maybe loosen your front swaybar and see what she'll do, cut your 60's down to 2.0 and I'd expect a solid 13.1-13.2 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

3) most locals (NoVa/MD) go to MIR or capitol raceway. thats probably as 'local' as you are going to get <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Hmmm, I cut a 1.80 60' on ET Streets. This was dumping the clutch at 4.2grand or so. It spun a 5. Is launching at 5grand (as opposed to 4.2) really going to lower my 60's to 1.70s? The swaybar is still connected.

but on stock tires ive seen 1.9's-2.1's i think 2.0-2.1 is generally average... it takes pratice practice..

its hard to day on ET's... its a few in EFA that have in the 12.6-12.9 range stock, well with lid and exhaust and on street tires.. but they have 01-02's also(tad bit faster)

average is around 13.0-13.6

I would have to disagree with making lower than 1.7's on slicks. He still has stock 3.42's (as far as we know) I dont know of any cars cutting better than 1.7x 60' times on 3.42's in a stock rear.

I have seen a few LOW 1.7's by myself and RAGEman and I think a few other guys are getting some low 1.7's with the stock rear but it isnt very common.
