Default LT1, M6, street tires... should 60ft?
I am curious what a good 60ft or normal for a m6 lt1 on street tires? It has been suggested to me that my now best on fusion zri's 2.20 it less just not great for what I have and I should be alot faster in the 60ft range. So I want to see what M6 cars NOT A4'S but a M6 LT1's on street tires should be 60fting.

Umm street tires, good is 2.0. I've seen 1.97 before on street tires with an M6. Remember, every tenth in the 60 is good for at least 1.5 on the big end.

The best I ever cut on street tires was a 1.90. Continental Extreme-Contact 285's with a John Force style 2nd gear burnout.

my best so far has been 2.2, but I will be at the local strip this friday hoping to better that. I'm going for 13.3's at 100mph(since I'm still hitting the speed limiter) through stock manifolds and stock exhaust piping.

You need an option for below 1.95. I was VERY consistent at 1.92-1.93 with a bone stock 93 suspension and Firehawk SZ-50 tires.

So far best 60' I've had was a 2.10 on fusion zri's aswell. But where I live you spend half your quarter mile spinning down the track.
