i recently ran many tests on my 0-60 acceleration and i was able to pull off an average time of 8.3 after 10 runs. Is that normal??? btw, the car is totally bone stock except it has a system in the trunk that weighs maybe 35 lbs. Any opinions?

 

did u use g-tech?

 

i remember Car and Driver got a 0-60 of 8.2 for a 6th gen coupe 5-speed, so take it for what its worth.

 

yes i did.

 

i remember doing that one time...only i had just an exhaust on the car and stock steelies as well...

5th gen on 93 octane: best time 7.9 (slightly downhill, but hey, i'll take it...haha)...

5th gen on 87 octane: best time 8.6 (same road, slightly down hill...but that shows such a big difference in acceleration)

many will argue with those times on here, but i did honestly test them and that is what i got...a lot of other people will say that they saw in car and driver or whatever that 87 octane is better than 93...but i tested it and 93 seems to work a hell of a lot better for me!...so that is what i will stay with!

 

But even slight downhill creates such a big disadvantage because they'll cut your time like a ****....i tried that before and also, exhaust will cut down some time also....i remember racing my friend who had identical car as me but intake and exhaust and he left a horendous gap afterwards.......

 

Have you gotten any 1/4 times yet?

 

not yet, i try to save myself the embarrasment right now, just waiting for the rest of the parts for my little project and then i'll post some times...i'm guessing high 16's though
