I was wondering what you guys are running 0-60. I'd like to know what the 6 was supposed to run from the factory too (Although in reality it varies). Thanx

about the same amount of time it'll take for a fast car to run through the quarter mile. 
jk of course...although yeh, fast cars could do it. Should be 10 seconds roughly, some a little faster (normally sticks) some slower (out of tune, and autos, or bad drivers) that's the way the world works, we just gotta live with it...or mod-and change it.

I remember having someone time mine on a watch back when I had the gimp 2.8L/auto in my 88 Camaro... it was like 13 seconds. Also remember after I put the T5 in it... it would bog if I revved it to like 3k and dumped the clutch ...in the rain lol

My 3.1 with intake, exhaust, and a half-assed tuneup (new cap, rotor, Taylor 8mm wires, and Rapidfire plugs) did 0-60 in 8.28 secs on the G-Tech.

From what I hear...in the 10 second range for an automatic. In the 9 second range for a GOOD 5 speed driver.

Odd... I thought my 1/4 mile time was right where it should be, stock.
My 1/8th mile was 10.9 @ 64.64 so I figure 10.5 second 0-60?
Well, on 2nd thought -
if it took me 6.1 seconds to accelerate 14.94 mph (final 1/4 mile of 79.58 mph on a 17.071 second run) then I was accelerating an average of 2.449 mph/second... in that case, subtract 1.89 seconds to get my 0-60 time.
0-60 in approx. 9.01 seconds. Didn't realize how slow she pulls up there.... 2.387 60' as well.
