I read a long time in car and driver and it was 7.3 I remember exactly, because I was like WTF.

lt1fbody355

oh and the formula was 7.1

ZSU

are you sure??

Manual is 5,8s.. Auto is 7,3s ?? it is a big difference

I've measured my SS with a g-tech when it was bone stock @ 6.2 sec. I believe the manuals were tested at 5.7.

I have seen magazine tests go from like 5.2-6.1, but these same tests say a LT1 runs mid high 14s

My car stock was mid to high 14's, on street tires with a 2.0 60'. 3.23 gears and a 4l60e trans. Hitting 100 mph was a milestone for me, as stock was roughly 98 mph.

I'm not sure if they where manual a stick, but back in 2000 I remember it saying 7.3 for trans am and 7.1 for formula. You know how those mags are though.

5.8 I think.

NO WAY!!! The other day I was looking through some old autombile literature a.k.a. Car Mags and I stumbled across a road test of the 93 trans am 6speed and it ran 6.3.

Ive always read as follows:
97SS M6-4.9 to 5.3
97 WS6 M6 5.0 to 5.3
93 TA M6 6.3
95 Z26 M6 5.7
96 TA M6 5.6 to 6.0

My personal guess would be about a 6.0 to 6.4

As already said, alot of the 0-60 times by the mags depend mostly on the driver. 6-speed LT1s can be very hard to launch, so if the driver sucks or conditions are shitty you will see terrible 0-60 times. I mean, were only talkin about a second or two here, even the smallest mistake will show up in such small amount of times.

Personally, I don't ever look at 0-60 times when judging how fast a car is. It's almost never trust worthy and any sports car can get good times. 60 mph in M6's is just bearly into 2nd gear, thats nothing. Hell, put some decent tires on an lt1 f-bod and it'll pull the same 0-60 times as an ls1 f-bod and we all know an ls1 is faster. 1/4 mile trap speeds is a better way of judging how fast a car is.
