Auto or 5sp? Auto its an okay time, 5sp its a tad slow, but not too bad for stock.

A reasonable number. For stock, you sound just about right.

Yeah thats fine. The best stick drivers get their cars to go 6.5 stock so your not that far off the mark. I need to keep practicing my 0-60 as well cause i always launch bad.

that time's a bit slow for 5spd.
i got a 7.3 on the g-tech, however, at the time i had 3 passengers weighing a total of about 530lbs. and you dun know that slows the !@#$ outta me off the line...
with just myself, im pretty sure i could pull a 6.4 or so.

bah. 0-60 at altitude (over a mile high) suffers a lot. i am lucky to hit 7.0 EVER. good thing it affects all cars. but it affects boosted cars less, so another reason to drop in a turbo i guess .

there is a website that will give you your 0-60 time based on your 1/4... manages in your trap and et. since i don't think we can search right now, i can't give it to you. i think my time was about 6.3 / 6.4 0-60. but maybe one of the moderators can help you out.

Are you sure those things are right? The site just calculated my 0-60 at 4.08! That's on street tires, can't be right-can it?

I dont know about your Max hitting that kind of a time but mine definitely could. I have a jet engine rated at 50,000hp under my hood.


actually i just did mine and it seemed to be decently accurate or shall I say very similar to my gtech 0-60. Who knows if you can trust either gtech or this site but they both say the same thing for me so I think thats something worth pointing out.

they both say 0-60, 6.1, 1/4 mile, 14.62-63 which is exactly what my best 1/4 is to date...

Put mine at 5.08 seconds, which seams at least a half to three-quarters of a second low.

CarTest is a much better approximator of 0-60 times. Those calculators you find on the internet are way off.
