I used to own a v6 camaro and with three passengers in the car it took about 5 minutes to get to 60 mph. Now that's sluggish.
Well they say every 100 pounds equals a 1/10 of a second in the 1/4 mile. So you'd be a little over 2/10 th's slower.
My Z28's never felt sluggish at all with passengers.

I was pissed at one of my brothers last year and stuck him in the back for a 100 mile trip to Cape May....He has not pissed me off since.
