0-60 times rely on too many inconsistant variables to be really accurate, and actually mean something, IMO. Its all about the driver.
Did you guys just missed like all the post where I replied to him about his questionl And then still miss where the guy asked what gm rated our cars from the factory..... Be careful when your trying to make someone else look stupid it may backfire

You've been proven wrong by multiple posters.

Give it up, you're beat.

Huh? Where did 400 Come from?
Its obvious you didn't read the thread, hence the R > C > P.

What the hell are you talking about. How can you not see that question by DMNSPD. I mean come on!! I really dont care what you think.

Initial Response

My best 0-60 is a 4.0 , I consistently run 4.1's with et streets and 4.3-4.4 on street tires. I wanna go and try it in this colder weather and maybe get some 3's I use a g-timer. Its very accurate with the track and much more so than the gtech.

I suppose I was talking to my self on that one.

Maybe you should go back to the top of this page and make use of your R>C>P.

They rated them at either 5.1 or 5.2 from the factory.


There you go z98 I was stupidly replying to the initial question and totally missed this one HERE.


Stop being a baby, Gloveperson was the initial person to to overlook the fact taht I was answering a different question. I then didnt know what he was talking about 400, which id didnt have anything to do with my post. However, you dont see me or him acting stupid about it.



Say what you like I have made my point and will not ***** up this guys thread anymore.

Exactly.

Somone asked me how this calculator predicts driver ability and not the car's ability....here's how. Let's assume that a bone stock M6 is capable of a 1.85 60' with a perfect launch. Based on the table i provided, that equals about a 4.3 second 0-60 time. Now lets say that someone else drives the car...and only cuts a 2.2 60', that equates to about a 6.5 second 0-60 time. The driver was only ABLE to run a 6.5 0-60, while the car was CAPABLE of a 4.3 0-60. Make sense now?

Gotcha! I suppose the table is like most other tables and assumes perfection upon itself to work and in real life its not always that way. Hence, why my times are different. But It fairly accuratly predicts what its suppose to.
