4.10 0-60 mph ??????????

[Moes8]

I know when talking acceleration,we all like to compare 1/4 mile times and speeds,

but all i want to know is what do these cars run 0-60 mph with 4.10s (or 3.73 even)

does anyone have a guess or firsthand numbers.
or could someone just go out and time it with a stop watch and give me a rough guess


thanks

Too many variables involved. I don't know too many stock Mark VIII's with just gears. If your car has gears you probably have some other mods. I think a typical Mark VIII with gears and trac-loc should be able to do it under 6 seconds.

Before the 4.10s, I had ...

K&N Panel Filter
Drilled airbox
Intake silencer removed
Intake resonator removed
1-2 Accumulator upgrade
Mercon V
B&M SuperCooler Transmission Cooler
20 spokes w/ Michelins

and recorded Tazzo times 0-60 of 7.44 seconds OD off / 7.95 seconds OD on.

Then after installing...

LMS chip
LMS Icebox
ART 2-1/2" Single-X Cat back exhaust
DynoMax UltraFlow Mufflers
Cam Shim
255 Walbro Fuel Pump
AFPR
4.10s
Traction Lock
Poly bushings
Chrome 10 spokes w/ Michelins

I recorded Tazzo times 0-60 of 6.51 seconds OD off / 7.03 seconds OD on.

Something tells me JP you should be sub 6 with those mods. Maybe I'm wrong but I think Brad's car can run under 6.

It is was it was.

The Tazzo runs are on street tires and on the street - not good traction for launches. The next biggest problem I see is the 1-2 shift with 4.10s. I've seen a few races in my time lost at the 1-2 shift with the Lincon 'bog'. With a shift kit and drag radials at a well prepped track with good traction , I'm thinking sub 6.0 would be entirely possible.

On your 14.3 run you definately did a sub 6 second 0-60mph.

oh and bryan I managed to get a 14.2 out of my car with the same mods I had before wait till a get a chip then I spray muhahahaha, for the record bryan I drove you in my car when it was slow I guess the thrid cat was clogged or something cause it was running 14.8s and I wanted to sell my car then I spent money on exhaust and my rearend let go then I ran a 15.1 with just exhaust then I rebuilt my rearend (changed bearings) and BAM 14.2s

You went 14.2 with just those mods? Pretty impressive. What was your 60 foot and MPH at the end of the 1/4?

 

[MarkOfDeath]

my MPH was 98 and my 60 ft was 2.1XX I think let me check
