Unhappy Guys i have a mustang gt 2006 (V8) automatic transmission (I THINK BAD 0-60) timmings

i keep getting 0-60 timmings between 6.15 - 6.45 sec is that the normal acceleration?
could a faulty spark plug make it get less than whats indicated in the cataloge ( 5.2 to 5.6
secs) and what are signs of a faulty spark plug if not ?

am at 1351 feet altitude tho !

altho am getting a maxxx in city of 20L/100km fuel consumption ! is that normal?

thats not a bad time at all for on the street with street tires in hot weather, and the altitude certainly doesnt help

wait until you have better cooler weather, lower altitude, and maybe try a better surface if you are spinning. You could get a high performance torque converter too

and since you state metric measurements , maybe you are measuring 0-100 kmph? if so, thats 0-62 mph

Go to a track and run the quarter mile. That will tell a lot about your car.
