12 seconds is a bit on the slow side. 9-11 seconds is a normal range with a few bolt ons like cat back and such.

According to a G Tech meter, mine is usually around 8.8 - 9.4 seconds. On a good day if I really push engine to 5500 rpm. Other times its as slow as 11 seconds on a half asphalt/ rock road because of tires spinning and not going anywhere.

My 'bird always got around 10 secs. In general 12 seconds is slow, but for you 2.8 your not far off.

2.8 T5 stock.

Runs the 1.8th @ a 10.9 @ 64.64

so I should be 0-60 in around mid 10's.

I do it in the mid low - mid 8 second range.

When I just start the motor in the morning, and its 60 degrees outside

Mid day temps, warm engine, high 9 seconds give or take.

Eh do it with the turbo! I know of a TT V6 that does 0-100 in 10secs and runs 11's down the ¼mile STOCK!

On a fairly normal day (mid to high 80's) with a near perfect launch, I pulled an 8.28 on the G-Tech. This was with my only modifications being a MINOR tuneup, a catback and new converter and a homemade intake. Stock, counting in my head, I did around 10.5.
