the only truly way to measure initial acceleration is take the car to the track....
the numbers that you have posted are very inaccurate at best....

:banana::elephant: man you and your LS comments :toot_toot::woohoo:Gears, sticky tires, and a good clutch. BTW, a stock LS1 f-body is in the neighborhood of 5.0-5.5, you're not doing too bad.
Was going off his comment of gears in LSx cars, sorry should've been more specific. I was just telling him the common gear ratios used in f-bodies. I think 3.55's is a great middle ground for a street driven mustang with a T-5. There's a fine line with gearing and 0-60 times. Getting into the power band quicker is great, and so is the torque multiplication, but if it causes you to shift more than needed it will hurt the times. Personally I could care less about 0-60, that's something for AWD cars to brag about. There isn't a sanctioned race in the world that bases winners and losers on 0-60. It's just a figure manufacturers and car magazines use to rate an acceleration of a car in real driving situations on the street.he has T5 transmission? unless your talking about chevys, then i think it would be 411s and 455s? theyre not the same as fords.
When you speak in Chevy many people in these forums only speak Ford. But on the bright side your big heavy Z28 will be a collectors item, unless of course we give GM more money to build overpriced cars, LOL.Was going off his comment of gears in LSx cars, sorry should've been more specific.
