usual 1/4 time and 60mph time on v6

as the title says..
with everything stock,
what kinda time would a 3.1, and 2.8 give out?

lets say, with the stock gear of 3.23(auto) and 3.43(manual).

just wanan know the rough idea of it.. thanks

Oh, then I don't have to worry about how high my time is, I saw quite a few 16-17sec+cars at the track last time I went.

but what it depends on is what that 3.4 was in. 4th gens with the 3.4 aren't that fast cause of how much more they weigh than a thirdgen
