Whats the best 0-60 tine you've gotten?

[Joe_Stang]

FIVE POINT FIVE BITCHES!!!!! Haha

Bone stock, exactly 0 mods.
As predicted 5.5 are possible with the stick.
Here were the conditions:

1/8th tank of sunoco 93
Ambient 42 F
Tire pressure 39 front / 29 rear (according to tpms, 32 according to my gauge)
Tires thoroughly warmed up by an hour of freeway driving
Flat section of blacktop
Launch at 2500
Perfect shifts with zero lag from the drive by wire garbage.

I'd imagine the car could do better on concrete or better yet - a prepped strip ;)
I'll hopefully find that out this weekend.
On the strip i'd hope to be able to launch around 3500...

How dope would a stock 5.0 be? Haha
Doubt it, but hey...

Not surprising you reached it. No doubt letting air out of the rear tires helped. I have 40 psi all the way around in mine, it came that way from the dealer. Also the 2500 rpm launch probably helped as well. What I don't get is how motortrend got the 2011 v6 to 5.1 stock but the other years after have a hard time getting to it.

3.15 or 3.55? 17 inch or 18 inch wheels?

3.15 on 17s. Base base base car ;)
I don't think the 3.55s would help on a stick car, as i believe that it won't reach 60 in 2nd any more.

:clap2::clap2::cheers::cheers: That's awesome man!!!! Can't wait to give it a shot again! Great job!

Thanks!

i have not torque braked to launch so far, but you guys posting these numbers are really tempting me... Good job btw

Well, mine is a stick, but brake torque away good sir ;)

Drag strip and 15 psi tire pressure.
Can't imagine it any other way.
Unless those bastards ran down hill haha

One more thing: can someone fix the title of this thread?
It's about 0-60 times, not tines.

The pony diesn't have any antlers lmao!

Motor Trend has their own test track.

How does the auto compare vs manual for 0-60? If auto is faster is it safe to say that the auto can do 5.4 or lower stock? :O

 

[VIN666]

Good question.
Finding published v6 s550 numbers is darn near impossible as everyone is just focusing on the darn ecoboost.

So here's the problem. My Canadian car has track apps but it's 0-100kph not 0-60mph. My car with 3.55 gears can't make it to 100kph in second but I think it could make 60mph (96.5kph) in second. Therefore using track apps 0-100kph my times suck. Add winter tires (no traction) and having to shift in third to make 100kph (62mph) and you get a result of 6.2 seconds... Even with my mods... I'm disappointed but I'll keep trying. It's 40F out.

 

[VIN666]

Change the board computer to mph then...
But that's what I stated earlier, if you're interested in 0-60, the 3.55s are going to hurt you. 1/4 mile? Different story.

Really nice!

Thanks guys.
I won't be posting any more 0-60s in the near future, as i now rock my new wheels.
Speedo is off about 4 mph at 60 now.
Unfortunately i never verified it when the car had the stock wheels on it, so once i correct it, the speedo might me more accurate than factory, leading to slighty worse times.
I plan on heading to the strip this weekend tho and the math says that with perfect traction etc. just based on mass and power, the pony should hit mid 13s... We shall see.

 

[Joe_Stang]

It would be nice for a stock v6 to see mid 13's. Best time I seen was 13.9 stock. I'm probably in low 13's now.

By low 13s you mean 13.49999? You'll need some slicks to do lower me thinks...

:frusty:

No 13.49 is mid to me lol I mean like 13.3 and lower

Finally broke the 6.0 barrier. Got tired of you guys getting results so i torque braked and pulled 5.8 on full tank. Finally

 

[VIN666]

Congrats!
Welcome to the elusive v6 5 sec club lmao
