0-60MPH G-TECH
This site has some great running C5's, I was wondering if any one measured with a G-Tech. Its a 8 hour round trip to get to a 1/4 mile track and I needed something to compare how my car is set up. My bolt on stock motor A4 can't get into the threes. The DA runs 3000-6000 here . Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Ron B.

Re: 0-60MPH G-TECH (itsonlyairandfuel)
Twin turbo Porshe wont get into the threes, mine is running 5.1 to 5.5 depending on traction, using a Tazzo that is spot on accurate with the clocks at the strip..I have run a 13.17 at the strip with a not so good 2.27 60 ft

Re: 0-60MPH G-TECH (lost)
Thats about where I was 5.0X with my mods,Until I bought the bfg drag radial package from Nate@corvette garage. Then the first try netted a 4.19, next is the transgo kit I got from a forum member. maybe that'll put it in the 3's. Thanks Ron B.

My car has run 12.28 & the best I could do was 3.96 with drag radials, On that run my 60' was 1.68

Re: 0-60MPH G-TECH (Red96Coupe)
The 4.19 was my only run so far. my 1-2 shift is possibly the worst of all the cars I've owned. Even with the predator it's not good. Between more practice and a good shift who knows? I'm just glad you guys responded. Thanks Ron B.

Re: 0-60MPH G-TECH (itsonlyairandfuel)
Prior to my ATI SC my fastest 0-60 was about 4.05 seconds it is next to impossible to be in the threes on a flat surface unless it is very sticky and you have excess traction. With over 450rwhp and see my sig. I am in the low 4s even with an high ten second car. You need allwheel drive and 3s are much easier to achieve.

Re: 0-60MPH G-TECH (Hool97)
I find that the G-Tech provides accurate times as long as its calibrated correctly.
I'm seeing 4.9x 0-60 times with 60ft times in the 1.7x on my C4.
Sure is nice to get a little practice in without having to drive to the track.

Re: 0-60MPH G-TECH (Midnight89)
Great product, technology is accurate to the T. That is if you are calibrating correctly, and the car doesn't spin, and you can complete the whole 1/4 without hesitation (traffic). My experience with my stock truck was great but when I hit it with the Vette - too many problems. If yoou are that far from a track - sucks, no doubt, I guess all you have to guage performance is by racing someone. Stock vette with A4, 3.15 1999 and above 314HP. 4.5 0-60 and a 1/4 at 13.7 there is the answer and saved $300 bucks.

Nick.. it may have been close on the drag strip.. but trust me you Did Not Go 0-60 in 2.8 Sec! Maybe if you had a Super Gas car, but not in the Vette or Porsche.. I'm betting the Vector was off center.. or tilted..

you think i am full of crap?
my car goes 0 to 97 in 7.13 so how is it impossible to go 0-60 in 2.87??? 60 mile an hour is approx 60% of of 97. as you know you excellrate at a slower rate as your speeds increase.
the new gt 40 goes 0-60 in 3.2! i am sure if you stuck a set of nitto drags that itll go just as fast as my car.
i not trying to get hostile but i know what i have seen and done and not just once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :flag :flag :flag :flag :flag :flag :flag :flag :flag :flag :flag

yes, it is centered and not tilted and it is calibrated. i am not an idiot as you are insinuate.

60' to 0-60 conversion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.3 second 60' time = 35.5 mph @60' = 7.0 second 0-60 time
2.2 second 60' time = 37.1 mph @60' = 6.5 second 0-60 time
2.1 second 60' time = 38.9 mph @60' = 5.9 second 0-60 time
2.0 second 60' time = 40.9 mph @60' = 5.2 second 0-60 time
1.9 second 60' time = 43.0 mph @60' = 4.6 second 0-60 time
1.8 second 60' time = 45.5 mph @60' = 4.0 second 0-60 time
1.7 second 60' time = 48.1 mph @60' = 3.4 second 0-60 time
1.6 second 60' time = 51.1 mph @60' = 2.9 second 0-60 time
1.5 second 60' time = 54.5 mph @60' = 2.2 second 0-60 time
1.4 second 60' time = 58.4 mph @60' = 1.5 second 0-60 time
1.36 second 60' time = 60.0 mph @60' = 1.36 second 0-60 time
1.3 second 60' time = 62.9 mph @60' = 1.2 second 0-60 time
1.2 second 60' time = 68.1 mph @60' = 1.1 second 0-60 time
1.1 second 60' time = 74.3 mph @60' = 0.9 second 0-60 time
1.0 second 60' time = 81.8 mph @60' = 0.7 second 0-60 time

Re: 0-60MPH G-TECH (NICK YOSKIN)
Here's something I posted elsewhere that may give you a better idea of 0-60mph times.
Here's another way to get 0-60mph times that's probably a lot more accurate. Plot distance vs. time from one of your time slips. Put feet on the y axis and time in seconds on the x axis. Most time slips give you a 60', 330', 1/8 mile, 1000' and 1/4 mile and their respective times. Fair in a curve through the points. Next draw a straight line from point 0,0 to 880 ft, 10 sec. The slope of this line represents 60 mph (88 ft/sec). Draw a line with this same slope tangent to your distance vs. time curve. Read down from the tangent point to the x axis. That's your 0-60 mph time.

but do you think 0-60 in 2.8 sec in an 11.1 Vette is possible ?

Re: 0-60MPH G-TECH (NICK YOSKIN)
Nick,
If you send me the numbers off your timeslip I'd be happy to plot them and see what that shows for the 0-60 mph time.

Re: 0-60MPH G-TECH ('69CoupeDude)
I looked up some1/4 mile and 0-60 mph times in Road & Track:
McLaren F1 - 1/4 mile 11.6 @ 125.0, 0-60 mph = 3.4 sec
Corvette C5-R - 1/4 mile 10.3 @ 136.0, 0-60 mph = 3.5 sec
Kind of indicates that C5-R wasn't getting super 60' times.
