the track was prepped pretty well. on the street traction is not too good, but i had a 2.0 60' time, so traction wasnt an issue

What the general accepted rule is: Mash the brake, bring the revs up to around 1200rpm or so, then steadily floor the accelerator when you go. If you break loose, you need to slow down on giving it throttle. If you're gripping, try giving it the throttle faster next time. Track prep will be the number one factor into how much gas you can give it off the line, they lay down a VHT compound that acts like a sticky coating. It will be nothing like street racing.

2.0 60' is pretty good for street tires. with slicks you can see sub-1.5's but you just powerbrake to around 1300 and ease into the throttle. You do not want the tires to slip at all.

not to get into a pissing match, but to go from 2.0 60' to sub 1.5's will take a LOT more than tires. i've raced for about 20 years now and even to drop 1/10 in the 60' is no easy feat. going from d/r's to full slicks dropped me .1. especially in a fwd car that isn't making a ton of power. 1.4 60' times are usually 450+ whp cars.

just to clarify, i wasn't talking about my gtp.

i know that. i was just making a point that a 2.0 60' time is not the best that you can do. i was just saying that there are sub 1.5 60' GP's

right, i just was making the point so that no one sees that post and runs out to by some slicks and think that their car will magically pick up .4 or .5's.
