If you have the 5AT get a high-stall torque converter. Cost is about $700-$800, installation included. That one mod can knock .3 to .5 sec depending on how high you raise the stall.

cheapest way? You could probaby MAKE some money... just take off all the interior panels, A/C, spare/tools, stereo, windows, dash, seats, etc... and sell them off.

safest way, would be to take a driving course.

Nice hot drag radials, and some decent driving will get it easy on a STOCK Z.

How do you measure the time that it takes to get from 0 to 60mph?

Take 2 or 3 lugs off of each wheel.. the weight savings should get you there.

Seriously though.. what do you consider cheap?

Why does 0-60 matter?
