What mods do you have?? M6 or A4?? If you are a lightly modded LS1 M6 those are good times. If you are an A4 with a decent stall and a few little mods than they are ok, I would say good if you were on stock tires. How big of a shot do you spray?? Also what kind of tires do you run?? NEED SOME MORE INPUT

Holy crap, those are some nice sixties, you M6 guys!
I cut a 2.32 with Toyo's, 2.20 with ET Streets! (M6) I really don't know...does track preparation (VHT) make sooo much difference?!

I haven't figured out how to launch with the TH400 yet.

But with the M6, 3.42's, 16" ET STreets and a stiff, high performance street type suspension I pulled a best of 1.51sec. With the TH400 and a 15" QTP my best was 1.62sec. But I think a high 1.4 time should be possible even with my drag unfriendly suspension setup.

Track prep makes a HUGE difference.

Track prep makes all the difference in the world.. been lucky that my local track has gotten up much better about that.

1.7's on Nitto's and a 2800 Vigilante with stock 3.23's.

I'll be giving my 3.73's a shot tonight.

Track prep makes a big difference. so do suspension mods on a 6 speed. While the auto guys can get away with a stock suspension and still cut descent 60s...m6's can't.
