What's your 60s
Ok I'm hearing a lot about my 60s are awful. I'm getting 2.3s with no N2o and 2.2s hitting the N2O a little
Everyone says I should be seeing 2.0 with a stock car?
Could those of you with 6sp, stock tires, and pretty much stock engines tell me what you are seeing for your 60s. Please no BS.......

In my sig.
What are you launching at and how are you staging?
If you shallow stage you can get a slightly better 60' and reaction times by leaving a hair earlier than deep staging.

You can see how shallow staging can help your 60' times. If you take advantage of the 10"-12" inches of rollout, you can dramatically cut your times in comparison to a very deep stage. You can effectively get a few inches of rolling start.

You wont see "much better" than 2.0x with runflats, stock engine and a 6 speed.
I achieved 2.07 60 foot bone stock on a 2000 C5 6speed.

Re: What's your 60s (kewlbrz)
I just have a Vortex and PRT exhaust. On the stock runflats (and only the first couple of times I ever drag raced in my live - I'm 49 years old) I got a best 2.04 (most were closer to 2.1)
With more experience and wider Pilot Sports, I got down to 2.001 and 2.010 last time out. Buy the way, my experience is that if the Runflats are under 10,000 miles, they are not as bad as everyone makes them out to be with fairly stock rwhp.

Re: What's your 60s (jschindler)
I've gotten mine down to 1.60-1.62 on the N/A using E/T Streets. None yet on the gas. A Drag radial is an excellent alternative.
Oops, just saw you wanted stock guys on street tires.

Re: What's your 60s (DARTH VETTER)
My best is right at 2.00x--I'm usually in the 2.0xx area, w/ an occasional 2.1
Make sure traction control is off of course, at stage spin the tires just enough to get any debris off of them (really hot, smoky burnouts are a waste of time and money with funflats, since they don't get much more sticky--just clean them off :yesnod: )
and find that sweet spot where you're spinning but still pulling well out of the hole-- (I generally launch at around 2000RPM quickly easing into, but not dumping, the clutch, and try to give it 5/6 throttle, flooring right when she begins to hook up--don't floor the gas off the line and expect to go anywhere with RF's--they won't grab and you'll lose time)...you'll get the hang of it, just keep practicing :cheers:
