I guess that proves how good of a judge of timing I am. Of course, finding numbers on the V6 on google was a pain in the rear. Aside from anecdotal numbers on message boards like this one.
The only non-anecdotal 0-60 time I could find was from American Muscle. Now I'm going to have to time myself. Since I keep getting contradictory answers (AM wants to put it at 9.9, and everyone else, even on ricer forums was to put it in the 7s) I'll have to stick with what my car is able to do.

0-60 times are pointless. if you're using a stopwatch to measure your times, you'll end up with a different number every time.

take it to the track.
I hadn't planned on taking it there until after I had added a few more bolt ons. The problem by that point is that it'll be hard to gauge the performance of a stock V6 when my V6 isn't stock anymore.
It couldn't hurt to run the car to 60 and take video of it. Using a stop watch while trying to gauge my 0-60 time leaves the door wide open to timing errors and so on, but video doesn't lie.
Yep, took some vid of me running to sixty. With a mediocre launch, and letting off the gas for a split second at like 50 or 55 because I thought I was at 60 it took approx. 10 seconds.
I would say 9.9 isn't a bad estimate of the 0-60 time if you provide for mistakes. With a good launch, good shifting (something I'm still working on), and not letting off the gas for a short period like I did, I could see maybe shaving half a second or so off that time.
The 2010 V6 Camaro has about 100 more HP then the 2010 Mustang V6, but I heard that the 0-60 times are equal,, and I believe they were both automatics.
