GS 0-60 times?

[hgallegos915]

Whats the normal 0-60 on a stock k8 manual tranny mx3??? I need this to make sure i have my car tuned properly and aligned and all that, also i wanna know to check if im running rich, assuming this would slow me down.

[osargeant]

I believe it is around 8.6 secs for the GS V6 version of the MX3

[Macen]

8.5 secs

[mx3man83]

I think its between slow and really slow.

i dunt think u can do it 8.5 .....thats with like perfect condition stuff and clutch.. and perfect shifting too... i think around 10 secs..

[mitmaks]

car stats says 9.2 or something like that but i know its faster, mine is anyways, depends on engine, how beat up it is, tranny, clutch and most of all DRIVER

[killerpickle]

if you shift at redline and dont shift to third gear, it should hit less than 8.5 seconds.

A broken in car is faster than a brand new car. There's no way in hell my car's takes 10 seconds. That's automatic Accord 4-cyl. territory.

I wouldnt knock accords that much some of them would suprise you.

Either way stock mx-3s are not quick 10 seconds does sound way more accurate than 8.5 I could see it being in the mid to high 9s though.

No way in hell. If you're running that slow to 60, your car needs a tuneup, or you're shifting like a granny. Especially considering you only need one shift to get to 60 - it'll do a little over 60 MPH in second gear.

I was noticing that. Usually 2 or 3 gears is all it takes..

then they whine in Tech forum "my tranny doesnt work, whats wrong?!?!"

Guess it needs work out of the box. Rings dont last forever. Most of the motors on this fourm are not in there prime's either.

That still seems too slow. My old 93 Sentra XE could do a 9.2 0-60, and the GS was made to compete against SE-R. I seem to remember the GS being a couple tenths behind the SE-R. 9.2 for the GS sounds more like its 5-60 time, not 0-60.

Wow! I got addicted to that site. I was comparing my est. 14.5 w/ modded ZE to some of those times, and it looks like a stock early 90's Mustang Cobra would be around the same times! Then again, where are you gonna find a stock Cobra that's not driven by some I'm-past-forty-but-I-still-want-to-look-young-so-I-got-a-facelift-and-a-new-car type?
