I'm having an argument with a friend of mine about the 0-60 times of my car.

He claims that my car cannot do 0-60 in anything faster than 6.5ish seconds, but I know my car can do it in under 6, I'm estimating around 5.75ish

I have a 1991 Z-28 with the 5.7L Tuned Port, dual-cat, minuscule performance upgrades like performance air filters etc, as well as sport tires (BFG G-Force Super Sport)

What would you all say?

 

Do you have a smart phone with apps? There is a pocket dyno app that is pretty accurate for what it is, use it if you have the ability.

 

The giant page of calculators.

specifically http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php

estimates my car is doing about 4.7 on street tires at the track.

 

A TPI 350 should 0-60 pretty quickly.

 

I know for a fact that 1990 Iroc z/auto/350 tpi does: 0-60=5.8 sec 1/4=14.4

 

Your g92 package is probably quicker too.

 

I used to clock mine in the high 5's to 6.0 range on the street but I didnt have much traction. At the strip, a 1.70 60 foot will get a bolt on L98 to 60 in a hurry

 

Thanks so much guys!

 

haha, i like that calculator...0-60 in 2.51s

 

According to that calculator, my car is 5.43... I'm not sure if it's quite that quick, but I'm happy with that, and for sure it's under 6 seconds :P

 

Hmmm, 2.72 according to that calculator, sweet.

 

yeah not sure how true that calculator is, but with a 6.2's 1/8 mile and 112mph traps, 0-60 in 1.78 for my setup. I dont know if its that quick because that just seems ridiculous, but it certainly gets up.

I had my L98 at 8.21 at 82.25 1/8 mile and that gives 4.37 sec 0-60. Bolt ons only...1.71 60 foot time, I think that sounds pretty close.

I plan to get one of those G-force GPS type boxes that does 0-60 and 60-130 type events. They seem to work extremely well.

 

hehehehe - mine is under 2 seconds, and not just by that calculator.

 

Fun fact- A top fuel dragster will do 0-100 in just under 1 second and in the distance it takes the rear tires to reach the stage beams of the front tires.

You point it and pray, the rest is luck.
