Default first pass in a car

so i normally run at the track with a motorcycle, but this weekend i took my 02 ss m6 i got about a month ago to see what it had in it. its a factory car other than the K&N, NKG's, MSD wires, and flowmaster 10 dumped behind the axle. tell me if this sounds right for these cars on street tires and a first timer in a car....

r/t ... .323
60' ... 2.146
330 ... 5.760
1/8 ... 8.675
MPH ... 84.43
1000 ... 11.156
1/4 ... 13.251
MPH ... 107.70

i was happy with it

i wasn't sure where to launch at and after hearing all the stories about the rear end not being the strongest out there i didnt want to push it to hard. i am surprised at how well the Falkens stuck and the track was very sticky....my friend dumped his 98 cobra on DR's with bolt on's and a tune at five grand and blew his rear end.

Yep. Good times. 60' is tough with the M6.

Looks pretty good to me, especially for your first time running the car. I hear you about the Falkens. I had a stalled, bolt-on, suspension 98 Z28 that pulled 1.75-1.78 on Falkens pretty regular. Good tires. I wouldn't worry about the rear too much at your power level and on street tires. IMO, you're pretty safe to push it down to at least a 1.8 60' without breaking anything. Just try not to shock the drivetrain with wheel hop or clutch dumps. Anyway, nice runs for sure!
