Re: 0-60 problems

how did you measure the time? if it was just a stop watch and your bro watching the speedo, that is not very accurate...

Re: 0-60 problems

Don"t feel too bad...I was getting consistent 7.2's and thought my car was dog slow. Then I got in a 6MT coupe and ran the same tests on the same stretch of road...similar conditions. Same time, 7.0-7.3 range. Then I raced the coupe from a roll....dead even from 25-75.
Point is:
accurately timing a car with a stopwatch and speedo is difficult, albeit my results were at least consistent for comparison's sake.
