Here's a really inaccurate 0-60 calculator using 1/8 mile times.

http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php

It gave me 3.56 seconds

3.85

Assuming soft tires and a sticky track, I think that calculator is pretty accurate. As for on the street...lol no.

Also, you should be able to hit over 60mph with 4.10s...I can reach 63mph in 2nd with 4.30s, but that's at around 6600rpm.

could you run my slip through your spread sheet? I haven't done any real 0-60 testing, but I think I could do it in 4 seconds flat with the right launch. Well, 0-58 in 4 seconds, not sure if I can hit 60 in second gear.

Keep in mind without the real deal test equiptment it's very hard to get an accurate 0 - 60 time.

I have a spreadsheet that does some fancy math and it's still not 100% accurate...

I only went 4.9 seconds 0 - 60 on my 13.1 pass using the spreadsheet and my timeslip.

Don't get me wrong...Xcalibrator maybe be more accurate the calculations I have (not sure)...just saying getting sub 5.0 seconds isn't exactly easy (even if you have a tune and CAI I don't think it would be)

Can do...When I get to work today I will.

I will also try to post it up so you guys can see it. When I use other sources I get unrealistic numbes (like mid to low 4s) and I know I am no where near a Z06 0-60 so it's hard to swallow those.

Like I said without the right test equiptment its really hard to get a good valid/accurate number.

My rev limiter is still stock, 6200rpms I believe. I think I just hit 60 in second at 6200rpms and that's with a 27.8 inch rear tire.

using this calculator I get 62mph at 6200rpms.

I'm going to try to video tape my 0-60. That way I can see it in 1/10 of a second frames and get a better idea.

I did the spreadsheet on your run and got 4.347 seconds.

Trying to see if I can link this bad boy up....

I think that is about right judging by the one video I tried to make. I didn't spin on that run, but didn't launch for **** either. What is the best way to record 0-60? Are any of the Gtechs accurate or would strapping a video camera to my steering wheel be better? Whipple claims 4.4 seconds in their stock geared car with drag radials and everything else stock. I'm going to go for sub 4 seconds!

RE: 0-60 time

Like I said some of the calcs online had me in the mid to low 4s and the spread sheet puts me at 4.8~4.9..(much more realistic I think)... I have no idea though. LOL
