It's safe to say it's low and slow
Went to the track tonight for kicks and giggles, and ended up running 15.8 @ 93.6mph with a wimpy 2.55 60'. I bogged bad on the launch. It was my first time really launching this car and I only launched at around 2500rpm. I shifted pretty lazily since I still have the check valve in my slave cylinder and it slips if I attempt to do otherwise. This track you can usually run over and over again all night, but it was packed tonight so I only got two runs in. I think everybody else had the same idea as me to get out to the track with the last of this nice weather. Anyway, it's definitely safe to call my car low and slow haha.

automatic transmission? That sounds about right for an auto. Our cars are slow man.

A lot of people have done the slave cylinder delete mod. Your car stock is capable of low-mid 14's stock with a 2.1 60 ft in great conditions. Give the track another shot man!

Previous car was a '97 Regal GS. Yes, my current car is an M6 3G TL base. I may take it to the track again. I know the 14sec times are there, it's just my piss poor launch that killed it.
