I calculated mine to be 5.94sec using the calculator that I have a link to on my website, under favorite links. At first I thought it was prolly pretty accurate, but now I am thinking otherwise...
so how can you figure out 0-60? do i need a cop to do it??

Who cares??????????
You have your 1/4 mile and you know your around 6 seconds to 60.
You want a one time best 0-60 or an average. The 0-60 is more launch dependant than your 1/4. Your best is probably a high 5 second run and around 6 or low 6 on average.

ya just time yourself. its gonna vary a little every time, so just figure its around the low 6's. times dont matter that much, its the fun of gettin the times and the suprised look on other peoples faces who watch yuor tail lights get those times

I have a Gtech and i think it's pretty accurate within a +/- .20 seconds range. I've used it prior to running at the drag races and it always varied but was within that range.
I use it for 0-60 and 1/4 times. So does my other friends.

Not unless you know what your 60' time is. Given a I/Y/E 5spd with a 2.2x 60' the 0-60 would be in the 5.9 sec range. However turn a 2.0x 60' and 0-60 is 5.6 sec, then again if you were to run a 2.4x 60' now you run 6.2 0-60s. So 0-60 is more dependant on traction than anything. Also with a timeslip we can figure out the 0-60 to within 1 tenth (if that even matters LOL). BTW the example's I've given would run around 14.6-14.7s @ 2.2x 60', 14.3-14.4s @ 2.0x 60' and finally 14.9s @ 2.4x 60'. If you want a fast 0-60 use slicks, Neal's 13.6 run has him turning a 0-60 of 4.9 sec on slicks and 5.2 sec on street tires.

i mean the estimates you are making are ones that i would agree with and ones that i have quoted in the past. but my guesses for 0-60 estimates come from a mix of Gtech, talking to people, and the online calculators.....put everything I know together and guess at what it is...how do you know that a 2.2 60 foot is a 5.9?
