Yes, I meant slicks.I know your post is old, but when you say 1.8s 60' is reasonable you're referring to a car on full racing slicks yes?
Just wanted to make sure it was clear. You definitely won't see sub 2.0 on street tires, unless the car is set up specifically for drag and on REALLY aggressive street tires.
My old 2007 turbo spec v, 330whp/300wtq on 245mm dunlop sport maxx rt's (summer street tire) had traction in 1st gear with minimal to no issue. The car had a chromoly steel rear mount which aided traction by a staggering margin. This car went 13.1 @ 108mph w/ 2.0 60'.
The type R stock tires are not drag tires by any standard. They are awful for straight acceleration. You need something with a little more sidewall and a stiffer rear mount.
If you're going to drag race, you should have DOT radials at a minimum or your times don't really mean much since you have next to no chance of hooking up with a street tire and a decent amount of power.
