Splat, they don't know any better, their calling 60's R/T, although from the sound of it it just may BE their Reaction time! ROTFLMAO.
Your times are GREATLY affected by your 20's the diameter reduced your effective rear gear ratio. 17's are about right for what you did.
If your tempted to race it again:
1) Put it in DRIVE!, not OD, putting it in OD strains the tranny in a bad way.
2) Leave at 15-1700 RPM, any more isn't going to help.
3) If it's stock or nearly stock just let it shift for itself, GM engineers aren't stupid, it will shift at 5000 just about the optimum shift point.
I've run 2, a 2002 Xtreme stock and a 2000. Both 60's around 2.50 and did 11.50 in the 1/8th. The 2000 has a cheap cold air with cone filter, 180 degree thermostat and Flowmaster 40 with 2 and a half pipes (stock is 2 and a 1/4). the best it's done is 11.20 @ 63 cool engine cool air (night).
If you think your thrown back in the seat launching one of these try any car with a V8 engine sometime!. WOW!. My wifes 454 Monte Carlo race car does 1.60 shorts, my 85 Vette does 1.75's. My Blazer runs 60's the same as my tow vehicle. a decent 60 on a typical muscle car is around 2.00

Oh, it's a black 2000 Blazer 2x2 SS, runs around the Buffalo area in the summer. License plate is "FOOTBRKR", for a reason.
