I'm not going to 1.8's are impossible because anything could happen but I've never seen it done. I would suggest getting a spacer and you should be able to see 13.5's with a 2.0 60'.

You done good. 60 foot time is excellent. Car is running well picking up 22.4 MPH in the last 660 feet.

Overall it’s a very good run with one potential area for improvement: the first to second gear shift.

I have run 1.9X seconds on street tires. 1.8X seconds? Forget it.

thanks david for the input...from what i remember, i may have shifted a little early due to excessive wheel hop and i was scared of breaking an axle. i recently got new springs and tires so hopefully this will help a little come next season

Actually the times do look really good. I agree with David on what he said. You likely won't see 1.8's from any street tires that are worth running on the Z, I've seen 1.7's out of a few Mustangs on street tires, but it was a 305 width on a 16" wheel so its not apples to apples.

Good luck, and remember, wheel hop is always bad, no spin is better than excessive spin, err on the side of feeling slow to losing grip and you'll find the trick to 1.9's with practice.

Stock tires are not Dunlops. That time can improve given the 60ft and mods. Realistically the better street tire Z owners hit low 1.9 60ft's, with that you could go 13.5's.
