Just wondering what everyone's 0-60 times are. I just recorded myself and mine is between 5.5-6 seconds. Does that sound average. My truck is stock except for Lakewood's, Z-tube, and muff.

~6.5 seconds

How are you calculating this? With a stock truck you should be quite a bit slower than 5.5-6 seconds.

Camcorder... held it in my left hand in the middle of my steering wheel. I know its ghetto but it works nethumb:. Remember i have a rc 5spd manual 4.7 :twothumb:

Yikes.

Yikes.

LOl what do you mean? I'm a cowboy?

Just under 5 seconds. Car is still stock, was drizzling outside. When my new tires show up I'll see if I can practice a bit and drop a few more tenths.

Sweet. I didn't know those chargers can record the times like that nethumb:

2007 Chargers, Magnums, and 300's have the timer built into the cluster, it's part of a series of "Easter Egg" diagnostic screens.

I mean it's rediculous to use a camcorder to record yourself accelerating from 0-60mph and think the elapsed time is going to be remotely close to what it actually is. Next time see how long it takes to go to 70mph.

So what your saying is that my camcorder doesn't record at a normal rate... I don't think you know what you are talking about :sorry:

What would you use? Besides a g-meter.

 

[redmed427]

Let's hear from the rest of you guys. What are your times

 

[Road Dog]

Around Six in the truck (guesstimate) Years ago stopwatched the old Dodge at 4.8 sec. Awesome for 2:76 gears. Shifted by itself out of first at 65 and chirped the right tire. :drive:

 

[devin2589]

best time - 5.9, average - 6.1, done with gtech.

 

[trevor]

about half an hour :jester:

 

[bad360rt]

2.83 sec :mullet:

no what hes saying is that is not an acurate way to time it. you are following a gauge that is not anywhere near accurate enough to calculate something like that. its great for maintaining a constant speed but when you are accelerating hard its not going to be accurate at all.

 

[na360rt]

basically the way way Dave calculated it is gonna be your best bet. According to my 1/8 mile time and trap, I'm at 5.3 seconds, which in my book is way more accurate than the stop watch method I did on it back before I found that website. With the stop watch method I was getting 4.6 - 4.7 seconds. I know that a 4100lbs brick with shitty stock heads and stock 3.92 gears didn't go 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. 5.3 seconds sounds a whole lot more accurate to me than 4.6s does with my current engine setup. just my .02 nethumb:

So in other words the needle can't keep up with the speed. See that makes sense. Thanks for explaining it too me ucimaplaya.
