I've always wanted to get a time on my 0-60mph. ... The only benchmark i could actually think of is a race i had against a WRX from a dig. He dumped it from off the rev limiter and only pulled me by a headlight off the line... from there on thru the top of my second (60 mph) i pulled him hard about a car or so. I'd say maybe somewhere around 4.5 seconds? I'm cammed with 4.10s and MT DRs.

no way to measure it accurately. Time to distance is no problem, but I would bet (heavily) that you are looking at at least a +-10% error rate (which would be huge here) no matter what method you chose to employ to measure.

i wouldnt worry much about your 0-60mph time. its more of a judge of how much traction you can get than anything.

0-60ft is more important than 0-60mph.

You can get an estimate based on upon your 60ft time or your 1/8th mph/et. Here is a good calculator. I'm sure its not dead nuts accurate but within a tenth or two.
