you really need someone to tell you that 0-60 in 4sec is good? Come on, that is rediculous. That is one sick car you have if that is true.Justtake it to the track and tell us what you got.

Judging by his sig, I'm not buyin it in the least. Must've been a stopwatch timed run.

My Chally did a best of 4.72 a couple years ago using the old standard Gtech. That was spinning like crazy, so I know I could do much better. Still, I doubt the car in his sig would even come close.

Oh, and the Chally should be running mid-11's with the power it makes. (Just for a point of reference on the 0-60 time.)

I think he means 60 ft. time.

0-60kph maybe not mph... unless you had serious suspension work, built rear on MT drags and power to spin them maybe.. but i dont see enough power to pull it. how did you calculate your 0-60??

He said he used a GTech.

And I hope he wasn't talking about 60 ft.

Either way, rest assured you did not go from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds.

no, i already said that it was timed on my sct livewire tuner, but it's a POS of a device, because it is also way off on its HP/TQ estimates also, and i've just had my car dynoed last week n they are wayy off

Well, Ill tell u this much, if u r making 263 rwhp, Id say you can run a low 13 which equates to a 0-60mph of about 5.0 sec give or take. Its hard to get a precise 0-60 run and a stopwatch is gonna be .2-.5 off. A track is the best way to get any times.

ahh i see, well it wasn't a stopwatch i use as i say again, i did it on my tuner & counted down for me to go n then just clocked it up to 60mph itself. but there has to be something with it wrong otherwise then if i got that time

OK, here's something you can have some fun with if you have track times. http://www.markviii.org/~nightsky/sixty.htm Mine is 4.02 running N/A and 2.94 with the NX[8D]
