What should my 0-60 be?

[Pokageek]

With LCA's and my new tokico shocks? For example, the new m5 has 500hp (150 more than me) but also weighs 1000 # heavier. Given that, it has a QM of 12.7 and a 0-60 of 4.4. SO I was wondering how my car would do now that I will be getting traction?

well i think with my nitrous i make close to 400 rwhp maybe just a little over and i run a 11.5 in the 1/4 mil so i would say you would be very close to the same numbers as that car provided you can shift. those guys that test the cars are driving for a living so its hard for us normal drivers to repeat there times.

That sounds about right to me too. I have lightened my vert by about 180 #. Thanks.

0-60 is a strange way to measure acceleration if trying to compare apples to apples... one might have a 4 second 0-60, but will change the rear gears higher numerically and add a shift before hitting 60 which will make the 0-60 time higher, but overall the car accelerates quicker... its anyones guess... ill give it 5 seconds flat with good shifting

I think with 4:10's you are at 3 shifts. 3.90's you are top of 2 shifts. I palnned that when I bought them because I am all street with heavy vert.
