auto 0-60 times

what are you guys getting? and how far off is it from a manual? like .5 secs? my car has 37,500 miles and i taped the speedo and tac and then timed it by reviewing the footage with a stop watch. i get a low 9... doesnt sound good, but i had my 200lbs and my g/fs 115lbs too, plus the mileage so idk... lets hear what some of u got

no kidding, i did say that. ive done it by using a stop watch and have gotten between upper 7s and low 8s, but how do u know if it was tripped off at the right time? thats why i video taped it so i can do it more accuratley and i get anywhere from a 8.8 to 9.2 depending when i hit the button. gotta remember too it isnt a 10 mile off the show room car either plus an extra person in the vehicle plus my 9000ft elevation. i dont live by the bay like u smilin boy

It's not a racecar. 9 seconds is about right, unfortunately.

absolutley, and atleast im honest on what i got. i could have said 6.8 or something far off like that. there are too many factors and racing ecoboxes is a bit lame anyway.

Stopwatches and whatnot can easily be off a second or more.

Damn 9000 ft elevation, that explains a lot haha. I live at a nice 5 feet above sea level according to the town sign. We are so gonna be under water in a few years

A stock 2.2 at sea level with normal running weight should be at 8.5 seconds.
