6 second 0-60 time??? Anyone else?
I was doing some 0-60 timing to see what my car can do. I have about 11K miles, and a HKS exhaust. I found my self time and time again getting anywhere from 5.9-6.2 seconds. I know the "claimed" time for 0-60 for our car is 5.2 seconds but I have a close to empty tank of gas and tried launching from every RPM but can't get near 5.2 seconds. Anyone else tried or can you try so I dont think Im crazy.

If you are using a stop watch by yourself by the time you realize you hit 60mph and hit your stop watch your probably adding a couple tenths of a second and also if you have a passenger thats added weight which could also add a little time to your clock.

There are alot of converters on the web you just input your time slip from the drag race and then it will tell you your 0-60 time.
Go to the drag strip that is as real world as you can get.
