You can expect anywhere from 4.5 to several days, depending on your driving skills.....

Well, according to this web page, you should see about 4.5 secs 0-60. This page is specs for an '01 which should be about the same as your '04. This is also assuming perfect traction conditions, too.

http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...2001specs.html

Personally, more realistically, I think it would be closer high 4's, maybe even low 5's. After your mods, maybe you'll shave a couple of tenths.

Of course, this would be a test that would be performed at a track, and not on the street - right?

Your 0-60 will be much more a function of traction than power IMO... i'd say right about 5 completely stock with runflats.

I'd say unless you are a very good driver, you can expect somewhere around a 4.8 or 4.9 0-60.

it would seem the a4 would have a decided advantage as 0-60 times go.

Im running toyo proxies, 3.42 gearing, and a few more things like vararam, headers, ls1 edit tune, magnaflow, ls1 intake manifold.

I feel the car will do 0-60 far better than 4.8

but I dont know.
this is a good question

Now im wondering how quickly i can get to 60
