You would need HP near 380 and a lot of torque - then there is the issue of getting the power to the ground and the transmission not failing.

Possible, but not without major mods even if the power could be offered.

You would definitely need the Level 10 tranny upgrades to achieve this (to handle the additional power)....

guys, there is no way a car that has our weight will hit 4's with nething thats out there except a different engine. to go down 2 seconds will take a whole lot more than just 120 extra hp, and if u wanna make it into 4's, u need torque, not hp.

I'll believe it when I SEE a 4 second TL (yah rite). **** an M5 does a 0-60 in what 5.2, and an M3 does 60 in 4.7?

Talking

To be honest with you the anwser is NO. Almost all the mods you add to the car do not give you any significant HP until high rpm's. All the power in our cars is made at high rpm's. Is very hard just to improve our 0-60 times, that I can't imagine ours cars ever hitting 4.? seconds. Maybe when the 6spd manual comes out which it would also have a closer gear ratio then we could improve our 0-60 times, but I still think we won't hit 4.? seconds

Hell yeah, I agree! With the right amount of money, you can make a Geo Metro into a 4.X 0-60...

"with ALL the mods"? as in, if you can mod the car however you want? then of course...

if you don't want to do ALL the mods, then try a downhill racecourse

Our tranny isn't at a level!! Level 10 is a company who makes upgrades to strengthen our trannys. I think the kits start around $2500 or so.....

put on 1000 lb springs in the rear.

Custom turbo, and Spray nitrous to spool up the turbo. It could be done, but who the hell is going to do that to a TL?

When I mean ALL the MODS...that means the stuff currently MADE FOR our TL and TL type S,
like CAI, HEADERS, pulleys, MM, Supercharger, exhaust, springs, etc. i think we should have no problem reaching low 5s for sure.

M5 0-60 time

an M5 does a 0-60 in what 5.2
BMW claims 4.8. One of my co-workers has a silver 2000 M5 and I'm pretty sure that's accurate from the pull of the car. I have a GS430 and the M5 has a fairly different feel pulling off the line...

Low to mid 5s is possible.

But in the 4s (with all available current mods).......NO!

4's are reserved for true sports cars. ie. RWD, manual (without NOS)

No matter how much motor output the real consideration is front wheel drive traction limitations on regular radials. High 4s maybe with suspension work and tire pressure adjustments.

So lets see...what if you got:

Rick Case 3.5L Conversion
Comptech Super Charger
Comptech headers
Comptech CAI
Comptech Pulleys
Comptech Exhaust
New (mystery mod)
And a 100 shot of NOS

Think you would get into the 4's
