You could use your time/distance/starting and ending velocities to figure it out pretty easy I would think. post your slip up and ill see if I can nail it later.

Yea, 5.5 is what its rated at with perfect everything and perfect driving. Driver mod could add/take away like .3-.5 seconds probably in a 0-60 run. Also, he has to do the 2-3 shift probably to hit 60. Id imagine 3.73's would get you there faster cus you dont have the 2-3 shift.

I've got an old G-tech pro if someone wants it. It measures 0-60 and quarter mile. haven't used it in years, don't really care to anymore. Make me an offer.

if you can figure it out, i will think very highly of your mathematic skills haha. I couldn't think of anyway to do it.

you're not going to get an accurate measurement with a speedometer and a stopwatch.

If I am remembering correctly you can't get an accurate measure using something such as the time slip because you are not under constant acceleration.

you could take the three points there, 0, 8.238, 12.869 and make a parabolic graph guess using time as the x and speed as the y. it wont be a line because acceleration isn't linear, but a semi-safe guess is that its parabolic

I used this data what you gave me and put it into matlab to get this graph for ya :P



at 60 it comes out to 5.2153124 seconds
