New Best 0-60mph…
4.76sec. 
I use my Ease scan tool as sort of a poor man’s dyno. The tool takes a snap shot of all of the ECM’s parameters every .08sec (some times less) these are called frames. So all I need to do is subtract the time in the frame that reads 0mph from the one that reads 60mph. The best to date is 4.76sec, this was on cold asphalt with street tires so I couldn’t just punch it. I use a Hwy ramp that has a slight incline and the Hwy speed is 70mph. I made several runs, she was consistently in the 4.8 to 4.9 range. Lot’s-o-fun.
This tool has been a blast, with all the thing’s I’ve done to my Vette I don’t know what I would have done with out it. It’s showed me that I didn’t need the AFPR, don't trust the dash tach and that shifting at 6200rpm actually cost’s me time, but that’s subject matter for another post.

well, on the only somewhat clean run I did one night, 5.3 sec with the traction control on. Once I get a different converter(higher stall) and stickier tires, I'll easily be in the low 4's. As it is now, this thing pulls ridiciolously hard from about 25mph on(2nd gear). It's so tricky getting off the line...

your car might be faster than a 13.2 if your hitting 4.7's. i did a 4.61 and ran a 12.94 gtec and i spun some(this was in my pontiac,if it where my 84crossfire i'd be changing my pants with excitement!!).if you went to the track again you'd probobly see a 12.9x's IMHO.

Have you tried the formula for 0-60 that uses numbers from your time slips? I'm just curious how this formula compares with your method. I'll see if I can find the formula........I think it uses your 1/8 mile et and mph.

Here's a web page I found that has some performance calculators.
