Default 0-110mph in my 00 WS6**Does this seem about right for my mods?**

Here is a clip of me going from 0 to 110 in my 00 WS6. Mods are MTI Lid and loudmouth exhaust, everything else is stock. I know I am short shifting a bit in the video, but I had only had the car for 2 months and I was still trying to get the hang of a manual. So I was driving on a lil over 2 months manual driving experience. Anyways, I wanted to know if my car looks slow, normal, or factory freak? I can't really judge since I don't really have anyone to compare to. I have had the car for 6 months and still haven't had a chance to race another ls1. So what do you guys think, as far as the cars speed? Below is the link

Best way to see how your car performs is go to the track and lay down some numbers

Yeah, weather is kinda crappy around here right now. I plan on getting it on a track as soon as it gets warm.

took you roughly 17 seconds to get to 110. you were short shifting the **** out of it too. let me see if I cant find my 0-110 run. i think i did it in 15 second son the street, but at the track, it takes me 12.90 seconds to hit 110

I re-searched a little on lsx streefire and compared times to some other people. My time looks pretty typical, at least in my opinion. I need to do another, now that I know how to drive the car.

What is the "Service Engine Soon" light on for? Lid and exhaust shouldn't be causing that.......

Hard to tell.......As others said, take it to the track or get it on a dyno.

Shift higher up in the RPM band and try again...you were definitely shifting short.

Best way is to line it up with another car with similar mods and see. Its pretty much too hard to tell how fast it actually was since the car could have been driven a little bid better. If you want my guess, I would say your car seems average to maybe a little slow, but again, its hard to tell.

I am going to give it another shot when it gets a little warmer out. The SES light is on for something involving the emissions. I might have a bad 02 sensor. The car just doesn't feel that strong to me anymore, but then again, it might be because I am used to it now. It still feels pretty good after riding in someone elses car, but after i drive it around for a while, it just feels weak. I can actually drive the car a lot better now, although i still need much improvement.
