Hey this kid at school is talkin crap about mustangs and how my 2000 5 speed gt does 0 to 60 in 6.1 stock. i KNOW thats not right and have read on these forums and other sites that it does it around 5.5 but i cant seem to find an official time. Can anyone let me know what the OFFICIAL 0 to 60 time is for a 2000 5 speed gt and maybe give me a link to a site that it tells it if u can , thanks

I was in an "argument" with someone a while back on the 0-60 time of the GT. I could have SWORN it was 5.4 seconds, however the best I found was the 6.1. I don't understand

0-60 isnt really the best way to judge a cars performance anyway. One car may beat another 0-60 but may lose to that same car in the 1/4 mile. The real test is 1/4 times not 0-60.

Those numbers are crap!!! Show me someone on the street that can get 5.5 0-60 out of a GT and I'll bow down to them because they should be driving dragsters for a living!!!!

I don't know..maybe those #'s were obtained by a professional...usually professional drivers run tests like this...ie MOTORTREND, CAR and DRIVER..AUTOMOBILE......

Oh no...not more magazine BS. All cars are different, as well as all drivers. You may run 6.0 and I may run 5.4 or vise versa. Why argue with people about numbers...go prove it to them.

way I understood it is if your poo driver, 6.1+-sec, and if your excellent driver, Mustang run some where in mid 5 sec range

On the Ford's Mustang webpage they used to quote "5.5 0-60" as one of it's stats as part of a flash animation. This was at least a year ago and they change their website all the time. I believe that Motortrend reported 5.4, others have reported 5.6 but it's somewhere in there.
1/4mi time is a much better indicator of speed.

I hate people that talk bad about Stangs, usually they are uneducated fools

with a few mods that isn't too hard.. but stock, yes i'd say it would be a challenge.. There are guys on this forum who are dipping fairly low into the 4's 0-60 with 2v GT's.. but they are also on slicks with 4.30's launching at 5-6k

I understand when you guys say 1/4 mile is the only good way to determine how fast your car is, but for me all I do is a little bit on red light racing here and there. So what I really want is my car to get on it like crazy on the low end and take the vipers down the block. I think if your like me then 0-60 is a good way to clock yourself.
