Default 0-60 times

Boring night so I figured I'd ask a question that'd been on my mind lately. What's the 0-60 times that you fairly stock guys have been running with your early c4s? I know when they first came out they were said to run 5.7 0-60 but I would imagine that that had increased over the years.

Increased as in, gotten slower? Shouldn't have. A GOOD driver, and with today's tires should easily be able to beat those old mag times.

Depends if the car's tired or not I guess.

Mine's a little quicker.
Partly to tires, and partly to miles negating the miles on the old horse.
If everything keeps on track, I'll be waaaay below those times come April though (Dart 400, with forged mahle internals swap...) Assuming I don't fry the tires off with over 500 lb feet at my disposal at least... definitely going to take some getting used to.
