60ft time?

I know its like asking how long is a piece of string, but what would be a decent 60ft time for a th700r4 '87 350 Iroc (stock), with a stock suspension running on newish goodyear eagles at 30psi?. Basic question I know but I just need a baseline. Thanks guys

hmmm...I dont know about 7 seconds, maybe in a Honda.

My car is all stock suspension/engine/trans.
My best 60ft time was a 1.9x, on Eagle GT II's.
Most times were in the 2.0x-2.1x range, depending on traction.

Stock suspension with Firestone SZ50 was 1.88
Stock suspension with Nitto Drag Radials was 1.65

That was when my car was stock and could launch. Now I have to learn to relaunch my car...

55 MPH in first gear, at 4000 RPMs? What the @#$& kind of gears do you have? I've got 2:73s in her right now, and at 35 I'm at 5000 RPMs in first...
