458.76rwhp... to be exact


Why do you need to do 0-60 in 4 sec?

Just work on makeing your car faster, because i seriously doubt you'll really enjoy holding a stopwatch while trying to shift.

Trade it in for a C5 Z06!! Just get some good tires and all the boltons.....60 will happen so fast that you'll forget all about it on your way to 160.

drag radials, full exhaust and tuning should get you 0-60mph BELOW 4.0 seconds. Or one 100hp shot of nitrous....well it would be 3's easy. I have plenty of data from cars making 340-380rwhp that'll 0-60 below that. **** I was babying a 330rwhp LT1 S10 to about 4 seconds...

At the track mine goes 0-60 in 3.5 seconds based on the calculators I've used that convert your timeslip info.

4k stall speed converter, ET streets, minor weight reduction, bolt ons, healthy cam.

ET Streets, 4.10's, and good driving will do that. Of course the rear end won't last very long. Some extra ponies always help, but I think it's possible with stock power.

Wet roads in an automatic... You can go from 0-100 in about 3 sec's... the front tires only get up to about 10 though.
