0-60 in under 4.5sec

spotlighter · 01-31-2014, 07:12 PM

Hey guys,
Has anyone built their Z to do 0-60mph in under 4.5 seconds? I'm looking to build a legit Z that can hit 0-60 in the low 4's. Would love to be under 4.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's going to be a tall order on street tires. These cars have issues putting the power down.

I hear ya. I guess that is an obstacle with rear wheel drive. May I ask what you did to your car?

Rear wheel drive is not an obstacle - fwd is. The fastest cars at the drag strip are rear wheel drive. There is no reason why the Z can't get better 0-60 times if power, gearing and traction is improved.

0-60 is for awd and super car coffee drinkers, my soon to be boosted z will give no $#%^ about 0-60, make it up after traction is gained...in my older age numbers mean less to me, even after im boosted I might run the 1/4 with high 11s on slicks and good driving, but a giy at work has an 11 second neon be built almost for the price of my turbo kit, but guess what, its a neon. My car is going to be quick enough, is fun and has looks to kill, not bashing just advice, get over the numbers game, you will enjoy your car more.
