Does this sound legit?

so i got bored and took my car for a quick spin.. im out on the highway and im like what the hell.. i whip out my phone that has a stopwatch on it and i pull over because no one was around.. i hit the gas and the start on the stopwatch.. i hit 60 and click stop.. i got 7seconds or actually 7.04 seconds.. this seemed a little odd being that i just put my sub box in and im not a light guy.. and also for a 200hp 350 just doesnt seem possible.. i mean my brothers little import is all supped up and runs about 6seconds.. i know when it comes to 0-60 a second is a big difference but still.. his car is close to like 300hp

Re: Does this sound legit?

Thats probably about right. The L69 cars did it in about 7 seconds with 190hp, L98s were in the lower 6's. 0-60 times are more dependant on torque than HP, which even a weak 350 will have plenty of.
