Interesting... How'd you come up with this?
It'll be interesting to see the expressions on all my foreign car driving buddies when they ask me my 0-60 times <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: 60' to 0-60 conversion

That's assuming a linear accerleration rate.

Some people are limited by traction and bog in the first 60' that gets made up past there, specifically m6's with 3.42s.

But interesting still.

Damn! I am doing 0 to 60 in 4.64 seconds with this and 0 to 60 in 6.5 with the above chart.

My shitty 60 ft was 2.2 and my 1/8 was 8.82 at 82.71 mph. Hell, I had a crappy start but it still has pick up.

Which one is accurate. I know it is faster than 6.5 seconds.

wow, so the Nova is somewhere between 2.2 and 2.9 0-60?

I'll let you know for sure, as my new autometer electric speedo has a timer in it for 0-60.
Formula is at 4.6 0-60 time? Eh, not bad
