Default With my converter, etc... what 0-60 should i see?

What are some of your estimates on what my 0-60 mph time should be?

I am running around a 1.60 60 foot, and my 1/8th mile time is 7.5...

Mods in sig,

Thanks!

0-60 MPH is only used in Motor Trend and Car and Driver.

Brent, I think it proves the theory can be wrong. I could see maybe 2 seconds out of a race car, but one second is like a damn funny car!

actually is seems pretty accurate to me. take a look at this vid of my mustang. calculated on paper...the shift lite comes on at 66mph. watch the vid...and time how long it takes for the shift lite to come on. using the above calculator...says my car should go 1.29seconds 0-60mph on an 8.80 pass.

when the car goes by the camera person...you can see it on...its up to the left of my steering wheel.
