I have NEVER seen a 60' time even close to that on street tires. I don't care the suspension.

That must be a record in a mustang!

stock clutches and bands? anything else done to it? They can be made to scream, but the biggest improvement will be in the converter and a VB. Not to mention: put more gear behind it.

My guess is you staged with the back tires.
How would staging with the back tires help the 60s

Instead of going 60'...you would be going 53' or so (whatever the wheelbase is on the car subtracted from 60').

Takes less time to get the car to go 53' than 60'

Did it sixty that good on street tires on more than one occation?

I hooked really good on street tires once, but they had just prepped the track right before my pass.

And it's still short-shifting the 2-3 shift?
