I'm looking for 0-60 times for the auto, I've had a search but most of the threads were early and based on what magazines published.

Parkers.co.uk (great site) says 6.3 for both but I'm not sure whether I should believe that.

Are there generally accepted figures for this? How does it compare to the manual (with a good driver).

Cheers,

P.S. Is there a website with this kind of information? E.g. actual track times that people have done with stock cars. I've been searching but not come up with anything with auto times.

 

Motor Trend ran a 6.9 sec. with a Crossfire automatic.
Car & Driver did 6.6 sec. in a 6 spd.
By the way, there were no 2003 Crossfires. Just Crossfires built in 2003.
Is there a reason you don't trust magazine road test results?

 

Well for one, some of the times vary e.g. parkers.co.uk says 6.3 for both manual and automatic, so I think real world averages are more reliable.

6.9 seems a bit slow for the automatic, well I mean I *wanted* it to be faster since that's what I have..

Anyone manage 6.5 in a stock auto??

 

With my G-tech pro I got 6.2 as my fastest time. Not a super car but not slow either. I haven't tested since I put my renntech box and borla exhaust. I should

 

Mayaman, don't you have a "Non-stock" intake?
And I can't remember, is yours an auto or a 6spd?

 

G-tech pro - I did a quick google and its some sort of add-on that gives you performance stats? Is it accurate? BTW is your car auto or manual.

If there are auto owners here with 0-60 times that would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, what's the most reliable/accurate way of determining 0-60?

 

I'd say with a digital stopwatch. Since you have an automatic, that means you have at least 1 hand free to operate it. Just pay close attention to your speedometer and click it off when you hit 60 mph.
Unfortunately, on the dragstrip you only get 60', 1/8 mile, and 1/4 mile times.
I have no actual experience with a G-tech pro. But in my observations they tend to be slightly optimistic. With that I mean, when ever I hear somebody quote a 1/4 mile time for their car clocked by a G-tect device, it usually sounds a little faster than it should be.

 

Hi firemx,

When you say dragstrip will give you 60', you mean it would tell you 0-60 time or did you mean something like yards?

the drag strip gives you a 60' (60-foot) time. its the time it takes your car to go the first 60 feet, and gives you an idea of how good a launch you got.

fireamx, ive read the same thing... gtechs seem to be somewhat optimisitc. but they are consistent, so you can pretty reliably tell what gains a mod might have given you --

 

I tend to agree but I've put the Xfire side by side with my slightly modified 944 S2 and the S2 pulls a 6.4 0-60. I'd probably add a couple tenths a second to that maybe since these devices are probably not the most accurate way. But who knows. Either way, both my cars are quick and are going to get much quicker soon.

I have a 7psi supercharger for my 3.0 4 banger in the Porsche which should put me close to 350hp at the crank. And I'm saving up as we speak for the TVT 300 kit.

Oh yes my pretties..........................oh yes.

Oh yeah I do have the Borla exhaust and the Renntech CAI carbon fiber box. Definitely breaths more air for sure. This box was good for 14hp dyno proven over at the MB forums. I bought it from Advans.

 

Best for me is 5.75 secs 0-60.
My car isnt stock so should give you an idea what can be acheived with a few mods.

Gonna order a v8 throttle body from TVT SO WHO KNOWS 5.5 MAYBE LOL!

 

So from a Tune, Injectors and better air intake your getting 5.75? thats awsome man. Makes me want to star modding my car haha.

 

Most people don't set them up right. Getting a realistic weight setting is imperative, as is the RPM matching.

Mine was -.01 vs. the clocks at Milan dragway.

 

Can't ask for it to be much closer than that Steve.
