0-60 a while back I tried a 0-60 run.
I had 4.10 gears, 225 R compound tires, and an open diff.
I started in 2nd gear, and recorded a 3.8 second time. respectable, but plenty of room for improvement.
In the last few months, I had gone to 3.42 Torsen rear, 305's in the rear.
So I went out for another run... Gearing isn't quite right, because I can only hit 57 in first. In the run you see in the vid, I short shifted at 6K rpm (redline is 6700).
I don't know if I hit 60 (you'll see why in the vid), but the run was disappointing. I need to lower tire pressures, and find better pavement (this was very glossy where the tires go.

and a chart of throttle position, speed, and time:
