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. :p

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 (http://photos.imageevent.com/driller/2005racing/stang5pointO.mov) , I'm thinking sub 6.0 would be entirely possible. :D

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

List of mods

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

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