aight so i had a little time to kill today so me and my friend went out to a back road for some 0-60 runs. i know its not perfectly accurate since he was using the stopwatch on my timex and he was just looking at the speedo, but its close enough for me. anyways my best was a 7.6, but also note that the road i was on has a curve in it and that effected my times, as well as my hesistating coil. but all in all i think i fared pretty well considering i was only a second off the professional time of 6.6 that motor trend got. so has anyone else clocked there 0-60?

 

lol not the best way to find out ur 0-60. i havent checked mine and i belive i can get 7.4 since im auto

 

what bout sticks...whats avg. for 5 speeds SEs?

 

i ran a low 7 with a 97 se 5spd but the clutch was messed up then.

 

5spd max's do 0-60 in the mid-high 6s usually...

 

mid to high...i dunno about that......maybe 6.9 at the lowest with some mods maybe. I know 2001's got 6.9 on the 0-60 with a 5-speed stock.

 

I can't begin to explain how way way way way way off using a stop watch is. It's probably +/- at least a full second off.

 

yeah your probably right, but its better then 1 mississippi 2 missi... yeah you get the idea.

also i have a 5spd so my times should have been better.

 

Now you see why one got 7.6, 6.0, 6.9.....

 

Using your timing method I clocked my 0-60 at 5.4 seconds



Of course I probably

1) unconsciously gave myself like .1-.2 seconds to get rolling before starting the watch

2) unconsciously stopped the watch like .1-.2 seconds before the speedometer read 60

and the really big issue:

3) when running lower aspect ratio tires your speedometer is off - towards the high end

However, a g-tech is a more accurate way to go. I got a 6.5 before my last 5 mods and running heavy so I am curious to check again.

 

MY G-Tech PRo says consistent 6.4 - 6.6 its all about the launch

 

Isnt stock 5spd supposed to be around 6.7 or so and a 14.9-15.1 1/4 mile?

 

I think thats what R&T puts it at... but by me it is real hard to find some road with no salt/ sand on it... so I can never get a good launch....

 

exactly....
