If you get some sticky tires and a nice stall expect something like a 1.9-1.7 60 FOOT time. Dont get wrapped up in numbers, thats the job for the dyno queens, you can have a ****ty 60 foot time but have an awseom60-100 and blow them away. For example toyota supras, at the track the FAST ones will run a 12.00 in the 1/4 mile and pass at 138 mph. A normal 12.00 run passes at like 115-120. Which means that they have a really ****ty 0-60 time but up top they cruse. What I am trying to say in a race you have to consider all of the factors instead of just a 0-60 time. Expecially a street race, which mostly start from a rolling start at 50. So dont get discouraged because a stock 5spd is going to be faster 0-60 then a stock auto.

and q mile time on the auto... my friend has a auto 240 sx and the tihng is just slow as ****. shifts poorly its just horrible, he had the manual and it would blow it out of the water. he got sooo worked by an old 89 jeep cherokee 5spd by like 5 car lenghths

if i may interject quickly here, 115 is a VERY VERY fast 12.00. i ran mid 12s @ 105ish, with 1.68-17.1 short times, and i get just about perfect traction. 115-120mph should put most cars well into the 11s, and 138 should almost be in the 9s. i have included a few pictures.

this is my car, two years ago, on a not-so-great run....

ah well there you go....

My friend tim ran a 12.8 at 106.... I forget his 60 for though, at the time he was on street tires not his slicks. Belive it or not after he got his slicks he ran slower... but that was because he was untuned and was running 13 psi in the tires.

edit for spelling errors... apparently i can spell.
