Default 0-60 Times!

I know this is a lame question, and doesn't really matter but what are 0-60 times for a bolt-on ss? My friend has a g-tech pro and i put it in my car for a day and it said my 0-60 was 4.6XX pretty consistantly too! MY 1/4 is usually right at a 13.00000000 @ around 113! just curious throw any thought my way. Thanks!

.
The g-tech pros do have a small error range, and they can also be calibrated to start slightly after they detect movement, which can give you a better 60ft or 0-60 time. I would check both of them ... with your mods on stock tires, given a good driver you should probably be just a little bit above that. Nice times though.

I have a G-TEC and have taken it to the track. The times are within a tenth but the MPH is always 7mph higher than the track.
I ran 0-60 stock 4.7 sec
with headers,off-road exhaust and Vig 3600 -4.3 sec
Yank SS4000 4.3 sec.major peddling going on,traction? what traction! HA
All on BFG G-force 's.
Will try with sticky tires soon as the roads get warmer.

WOW! those are good times......

with mods on sig minus the LCA and PHB, my best was a 5.7sec.
that was the best of only 4 trys, on street tires, with my wife in the car.....
i thought for sure i would have a better time but im really not THAT hard on my car so those were soft launches and before red line shifts,.........but it was cool non the less!

im going to get BFG DR soon so ill post my new times when i get them!

Once you get the drag radials it will drop your 0-60 times considerably. when i put them on my car i dropped to 0-60 in 4.0 on cold roads with bald Nitto's.
Not too bad considering dr's are cheaper than the Goodyear F1's and BFG G-force tires. I pulled a 1.6 60ft at the track on a 100 shot of nitrous,they CAN hook up real well. get them and lets hear the results. A4's launch MUCH easier then M6's,gotta love a A4 with a high rpm stall!!

And A4's are much less likely to grenade you rear end than the M6's since the gears are preloaded at launch. You won't get as much life from the nittos though but it will be alot more fun

the only thing I don't like about the nitto DR's are the rear end feels squishy and they don't corner so well. You could go with the nitto road racing tires though, which have a stiffer sidewall for cornering but the same tread and rubber compoound as the DR's.

Yes, that's a good price for BFG Drag radials.
