best way to do 0-60 times?
Tried doing a search and couldnt find anything to help. I am wondering what the best way for me to find my 0-60 time is. I have a mt. how much gas should be in the tank typically when doing a 0-60 pass? and any suggestions to making it quicker. I know this is a sort of odd question but I am just trying to get some times before and after I install some new parts to help compare how much faster my Z accelerates.
Thanks, Jim

0-60 is for magazine racers. It means nothing in real life. Go to a track and provide 60ft times.
edit-you could do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds stock and then add 30whp and run slower. 0-60 isnt a good measurement for gains in power, its more a measurement of a cars traction, and test surface which on anything other than a track will not be very consistent and therefore making the measurement worthles.

I was researching launches the other day. Maybe thats what you need to look into also. There is alot of information about it online, detailing the different techniques and whats best for rwd cars. good luck and do let the mod bug consume you...

Good luck with your.... wait a minute, the 03's dont even redline at 7200... you must have been dreaming or trying to mess with me too..

Question though, if the car is getting 287hp @ 6200 RPM and 274ft @ 4800 RPM, wouldnt 7200rpm be out of optimal range? Or have mods been added to change that too?
