Default 0-60 times??

do you guys ever time yourselves from 0-60? i got a stopwatch a couple days ago and tested to see just being curious and fastest i got mine to 60 was 4.9 taking off easy with decent tire spin all through 1st on 245/45/17s.

my bro with quite a lot more mods(full exhaust, shift kit and a stall)on his 02 ws6 and got a 4.0 with about the same tire spin as me, i thought that was pretty good.

i know it wasn't the most accurate way for me to time but i was just having fun and wanted to see how much quicker my car was compare to stock (i think stock times for f-bodys were between 5.1-5.5 not sure tho)

i was just curious if you guys ever timed your cars to 60. if you have post up the times and mods on your car.

Thats as accurate as using highway markers to calculate your 1/4 mile time.

I was thinking about using efilive to measure it. You can capture the speed on a graph and time is the bottom axis.

i say a cam/exhaust car with drag radials cutting a 1.70 at the track has gotta be good for a sub 3.5 run to 60. i mean they claim lots of "high end" cars breaking under the 4 second mark on street tires and lots of them dont make much torque.

in this video it looked like a left a hair before 7 seconds and should have clipped 60 at right before 10 secs. so that equates to about a 3.0 run to 60. i figure this based on the fact that the trans shifts out of first at about 45-50 so figure a hair after the shift you are clipping 60. you have to listen for the shift.

Heres a vid showing the 98 slp firehawk do 4.9 to 60. These cars dont get the credit they deserve. And that was a 98, think of the 01-02s.

best so far is 4.51 with my gtech pro, I'm happy about it that's a 2.0x-2.1<5 60' I'd say its 2.0 somewhere, I haven't gotten it below 2......... YET

I believe high 12 second quarter mile cars run a high 4 sec 0-60.
2002 Fire Hawk 12.9ish/4.9ish

............ Mid 12 second quarter mile cars run a mid 4 sec 0-60.
2000 Corvette 12.5ish/4.5ish

............Low 12 second quarter mile cars run a low 4 sec 0-60.
2001 Viper 12.1ish/4.1ish

............high 11 second quarter mile cars run a high 3 sec 0-60.
2007 Z06 11.7ish/ 3.7ish

Seems like a pattern...

yeah but you cant tell me that a cam/LT drag radial car couldnt run with said viper or 07 Z06 till 60 when they are on street tires...they wouldnt romp your *** till mid track. hence my thoughts of about 3.0. you should include 60 ft times if you wanna compare apples to apples.

There is a calculator online for it but it's BS. I calculated mine based on my 1/4 mile time slip. Made a graph of position Y at time X for each distance on the slip, then using good old high school calculus skills figured out my best 0-60 mph to be 5.4 seconds. For perspective I run a 13.32

im with him... an 07 zo6 run a high 11... i run low 11s to flat 11... im going to DESTROY a zo6 out of the whole..

for stock cars, that may go..

but for a 410 4k stall auto on 26" tires... not so much..

FWIW the last published numbers from GM for an F-body was 4.8s. This number is from a brochure from 2002.

How did you do? Was that with your new cam & L92 heads?

If that last published time was 4.8 you would think a full bolt-on car should be somewhere in the 4.2-4.5 second range. That's pretty crazy. Realistically how many stock cars under $40,000 can hit that?
