Nope, more people would squat using bandwidth on searches. Sight has to make a dime somewhere to stay up for us to search in the first place.
Brett, you know I support your N2O endevours..but 2.9 0-60 is almost impossible with any thing short of slicks or 315 tires on most cars. It takes more than HP to go that quick. Most cars in that range will do a wheelie off the line as well.... Unless it's a true super car like the Atom or such.
Most local guys I hit the strip with can only do so much with their 60' times because of traction. Yet they can easily get 1/4 mile times lower with a little extra juice.

I still cannot find that Gtech run....
I have no idea how I managed such a time (unless the Gtech glitched)
It was not on a track it was on a road on a hot sunny day and at the time I didnt even have an LSD....
I was trying out some new Nitrous jetting that got me down from low 6`s to very low 5`s and even 1... 4.9 (thats the run I found)
I was leaving a SINGLE black line down the road every time (no LSD)
Until the last trial run...then I launched it, the back seemed to sit down (not felt that before) and it went like a bat out of hell....at the end of the run as I was waiting for the flash to say I had run the 1/4 , it missed a little, and after driving back to my workshop, I found it had burnt out a plug....
No other explanation...either I did run a 2.9 or the Gtech went weird....
It was a little unlikely to jump from a 4.9 to a 2.9 lol
All the best Brett

Brett - Glad to see you joined up.
My guess is the G-Tech went crazy. Mine gets a ghost up it's **** every once in a while, especially if it's a bumpy road. Also I have to disconnect the cap for the stereo for the G-Tech to track the RPMs. The cap back feeds and keeps voltage too constant for the G-Tech to always pick up on. Even though, the Butt-Dyno should have picked up on a 2.9 verse a 5.1
Remember the first rule of scientific proofs, if you can't repeat it...it never happened.
All the best,
Cheers.

I was consistently getting sub 4's with my 5spd and 295 drag radials. Even with the drag radials the car is very hard to get a good launch because I can't go WOT until the very end of 2nd.
I can't find any G-Tech's from the wifes car... maybe I never did any?
I would guess mid 4's or a little better. It makes 500 rwhp so it should do pretty well.

According to a couple of web 0-60 calculators...410 crank hp gets you 0-60 in 3.999 seconds. Don't think it's very accurate stock GTS stats are 4.7 seconds.
