My "times"...

Ok, I'm basically wondering what different people's times are for 0-60 in their FB. I was just screwing around today and made 0-60 in about ten seconds which I consider horrible. Then again I didn't even let the RPMs go past 5000.

Just wondering what ya'lls times for 0-60 are.

0-60 stock, 10 seconds
0-60 with mods in my sig, somewhere around 7.5 - 8 seconds.

I dont know, but I think my engine is a little weak. I mean, it always feels really fast, but then I go to run another RX-7 or something (like my Dads stock GSL) and I have to try harder than I think I should, if that makes sense...

I used a GTECH Pro Comp on my car and my best 0-60 was 4.014 in second gear.

I hit 60 around 5K in 3rd. One time was going a little uphill too. There is recently resurfaced road with a good 1/2 to 3/4 mile of straight and flat that I can try on next time.

P.S. Will new rims and tired help? My current tires are bald and very un-round, and I'm planning on getting 16" velox rims with new good tires.

No, I don't even know what a gtech meter is. My friend started his watch when I started and when I got to 60, I just said "sixty" and he stopped it. We weren't exactly going for an extremely accurate reading.
