Just curious about timing of FI Z's 0-60

 

There is no really accurate way to tell. Tracks dont give 0-60 times, they give 60ft times. Also, most of the accelerometer based timers like the Beltronics timers, GTECH's are supposedly innacurate when wheel spin is present, which in a FI Z would def be there. Best thing I would do is look at a Z's 1/4 time and trap speeds and look at other stock vehicles around those times so you can get an estimate of what your doing. For example-if a Z runs 11.7 @ 120 vs a magazine times of 12.1 @ 120 for a Dodge Viper and the Viper runs to 60mph in 4 sec flat, that Z is doing it in the high 3 second range, and is most likely on DR's or slicks. See what Im saying?

 

Buy a G-Tech. I've used one for a while and they seem pretty accurate, granted I'm not FI. I don't think wheel spin effects the accuracy as they function off engine RPM's, the forces being applied to them (G's) measured by an accelerometer and time. They give you lots of information.

According to Gtech i did a 4.301 or 4.31 can't remember the order.
Best I got with Street tires (Toyo T1-s) 4.8.

My best times for the 1/4 are: (not from the same run, just best times and mph i've gotten)

60ft 1.75 1/4mi 12.19 mph 117.96

Remember not in the same run. Best numbers i've ever gotten out of those 3 categories.

 

The more I look at your #'s the more I want an APS TT kit.

 

I've done 4.7 on the GTech with a crappy lauch... After I get my rear end done etc I expect it to be better.

(Also keep in mind that the 5MT redlines in 2nd @ 57mph... So you coast to 60. Unless you've done something to tamper with that. (Tires, FD, Redline, etc) When we're talking hundreths of seconds here... it matters.)
