it depends what you were driving. i would guess that's a mid 14 second quarter mile run. if you're in a ls1, i would say that's kind of slow.

Thank you for your reply. Does anyone know of any tricks that could get me into the 8s? I was launching @ 1500 and dumping the clutch.
Thanks again

Not a trick, but if you can get you 60' down to a 2.0 or 1.9, then you should be high 8's.

That 60ft is pretty bad and thats what is bringing the rest of your time down. Get some sticky tires like nittos of BFG drag radials.

What size tires do you have on the car now? I may be selling a pair of damn near brand new 275/40/17 Nittos. (4 passes) I am getting ET streets.
