I'm thinking that's VERY CONSERVATIVE Not conservative as you make it sound. American Iron Shootout 2001 About 10 SVTs there all with decent mods ranging from intake and exhaust to MSDS and 3L. Many SVTs with MSDS + Bassanis were running 15.4~5s. Everyone got in about 10-15 runs that day. Capitol CEG Classifieds Make an offer! 2005 GTO IBM - 337hp/336tq

Slow/sloppy shifting can easily change the times by a full second. This is one of the big reasons why the 0-60 time is not a real indication of the acceleration capabilities of a MTX Duratec when comparing it to other cars. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

Even with a ton of mods I couldn't hit low 6's until my chip was reflashed with a higher redline. The reason. It takes a shift to 3rd. Now if you are making more than 200FWHP & can stick it all to the ground on launching I might buy it sans chip. Then again pointing downhill on a one way only pass may do it too... 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
