I was wondering what my 'Bird might be able to do 0-60 if it had 300 HP and I found this web site http://www.gldomain.com/accelerationcalc/ which seemed to give reasonable numbers. Just thought is was kinda interesting. Another estimate I found and simplified is weight divided by two times your HP. I assumed HP at the flywheel.
0 To 60 time in seconds = weight (lbs)/(2*HP)
5.5 sec. = 3300 lbs/(2*300)
This estimate would put the stock 5.0 time at 11 sec. That seems slow. The web link came up with 9.1 sec. which sounds better. :sleep:
neat.
I would have guess about 10 seconds
I can do 0-60 in 11.5-12 secs. My car weighs a hair under 3700 w/ my subs, tools and me in it. This means my 3.8 only has 120 HP at the flywheel. Thats right on par w/ stock power and it's been bored out, electric fan conversion and V8 tb. Was that factory number calculated w/ accessories running? I thought I was closer to 150...
stock si 112 for the 83-87 I think. 120 would be the max. 88 style had 140hp. Stock 5.0 has 150.
