Well we finally had a day above 60 degrees here in eastern PA, and I couldn't resist taking the old bomb out and blowing the carbon out of the engine ( good excuse,eh ?). Needless to say this 2000 c-5,six speed goes like a bat out of hell, and when I was running it from 0-60 I was wondering about the time. Anybody have any realistic ideas on the time, I know I hit it easy in 2nd gear,but I only have two hands and couldn't measure it. Thanks,,note all battery problems solved as noted in previous posts. Dan

Dan totally depends on how well you drive her and how well you don't either spin the tires or bog it down. The c5's are a little temperamental when it comes to launching correctly. Around 5 seconds flat for the 'average Joe' driver out there is common. Enjoy that car. Mine should be hitting the roads soon as well for all the coming up car shows.

GM stated the stock 2000 C5 M6 should hit 0-60 in 4.9. With a good tune you should be able to shave .1 or .2 off.
