Default What's a respectable 60' time for a "Street Trim" car?

I was just wondering this?

What's considered a "respectable" 60' time for a car on street tires and without any weight reduction? Suspension mods are ok.

ive been getting 2.2s and 2.3s, and that makes me want to vomit. but i have crappy tires. i see alot of people saying they get 1.9-2.0s. that seems alot better.

yours look very good.

respectable, you will get many different answers on this one, but i would have to say that 1.9-1.7 would be very respectable! maybe even 1.6 but you are gettin some traction on that!

He said street tires.


1.8-2.1 would be respectable. 2.2+ is unacceptable

I've never cut a 2.0 on street tires..

My best is a 2.10001 or something But that is also here in Hawaii where you're lucky to cut a 2.0 on Nittos..

So I'd say 2.10001 - 2.3 is respectable in my book..

I have trouble getting below a 2.2 on street tires with my setup. Either I bog or start to spin. I'm afraid to run some Nitto's out back on the 10 bolt after seeing a friend snap his 10 bolt on Nitto's last saturday. I won't have to worry long though as the 12 bolt cookie jar is getting full.

Some cars just hook better. My friends car hooks way better than mine and doesnt wheel hop. Mine has massive wheel hop. Hopefully gonna change when i put the lca's on.

Those are so great times tho.

So you pulled that 1.79 with mx's? I almost bought those but decided to go with nitto. How is the thread life?
