First time at track.... 
This was my best run out of 4.((Worst run was a 14.6 with a 2.9 60ft lol) Car is a 98 Z28 M6, bone stock with the exception of lid/cut-out and street tires. Shouldn't i be getting better 60's than this? I launched it at idle but ran it as hard as i could without spinning. Even when i hit second, i'm sliding all over the place. I guess i'm just really disappointed...any advice other than getting sticky tires?
Other than sticky tires I would say practice.
Get out on a straight lonely country road and practice your launch.
You need a little spin but not much,just enough to keep the engine from bogging or the clutch from frying.

Yeah, i just wish i could at least cut some 2.0-2.1 60 fts to see how that effects my overall time. Honestly, on my street tires it seemed more slick on the track than it does on the street. I usually don't start spinning/going sideways when i'm on the street going into 2nd. It almost feels like i'm doing a stationary burnout and then grab suddenly when i shift down to 2nd
