Not bad at all

I see Ralph Ogata crouched down getting a shot - he takes some outstanding pics. If you're interested, check with him - his prints are available for a reasonable price.

I remember what it used to take to get into the 12's with a street driven car when I was growing up in the late 70's...a fully loaded street car doing it is pretty sweet

Keep in mind that lowering the air pressure in conventional street tires will often result in less rubber contact patch.
