almost 37 seconds thats amazing! I had a 89 Chevy Celebrity with the 2.8MPFI V6 the body was crap but everything else about the car was in great shape with 116k on it I don't think my Celeb could have taken much more then 10secs to 60. Boy I loved that little car I beat on that thing till the motor gave at 124k then I junked her. ( It still ran but would pump out so much smoke you could not see behind the car.)

LOL Dan you are really funny. You shouldve came to Carlisle -- we couldve had a blast
I did not use a stopwatch for that i used the Passport G-timer. lol. Im telling you it said 6.6 seconds, no joke. I doubt its totally accurate but I am going to go out tomorrow and film it. I set it for the performance mods i did. That probably ruined it though. I added in the muffler, filter etc....Oh well. I like to think it is around a 7 second car anyway.
Edit...i know why it was that quick. I was going on a bit of a downhill. Not too steep, but it was downhill. I just timed it going up a nice little stretch. 8.7 seconds with floor the gas from a stop. Half throttle from a stop then floor produced 8.5.
I have to find a nice road that is level and see again. I will be back with some results and maybe a few vids tomorrow. Have to give it back for now though.

Also i believe Custom iis full of horseshit on that last post. I dont ever remember myself claiming my car to be faster than a GTP. Now if i had a Turbo or something like that then yes i would.
Dan your car may even be faster than my car to 60. But passing the 4.0 will eat you alive bud. I am now kind of agreeing with that Aurora ad you posted before. When was the last time you passed a car starting from 0? Thats a tremendous point there. I will take it.
BTW You remember that 70-110 vid? That wasnt even considered "passing" but it only took 9 seconds. Not too bad IMHO. And it was windy and i had 5 year old underinflated tires also.
I know custom thinks i am an ******* (Not that it matters), but jeez you get so fired up...LOL.
Oh also i took another vid tonight on the same Uphill 0-60. 10 freakin seconds. When you consider how much *** you are hauling though, it makes sense.
