Default 0 to 60

If i can run 0 to 60 in 8.03 seconds what would the apprx. be for the 1/8 mile and the 1/4mile

I have a NA 03 SS. is that a good 0 to 60 for that car, i dont know what a normal 03 SS should run.

i ran a 10 flat with my mods, but i'm nearly a half second quicker on 0-60 i think.. i'd say mid 10's myself.

Conditions for Testing Top Stock 2007 Malibu Maxx SS 3.9 240HP Manufacturer Curb Weight (lb): 3,415 mfr (3,407 as tested)
Monte Carlo 2007= 3461 (LB) V6... I own both 2002 Monte Carlo and the 3.9 seems so much quicker, never race either one so don't know what will be the outcome.


Temperature (Fahrenheit): 86
Humidity: 45%
Elevation (ft): 421
Wind: 0
Performance Top
0 - 30 (sec): 2.8
0 - 45 (sec): 4.6
0 - 60 (sec): 7.8
0 - 75 (sec): 10.8
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 15.6 @ 90.2 This could go down at least a second with a good tuner.. More if they made some mods other then a 6 grand turbo..

This comes from car & Driver

Our montes are one of the heaviest if not the heaviest in its class and most of the people we race are alot lighter then us. honestly if we put our montes on a diet so to speak they would gain some serious speed.

I was actually stunned to find what my monte weighs, its about 3550 with me in it. And im 180 lbs. and considering a challenger weighs 4000, we're pretty well off.
