I hope someone posts their ET soon, esp an automatic car. I've seen magazine times for the stick already.
If I hear one more "0-60" time I think I'm gonna puke!
Come on folks, anyone who's fast talks qtr mile, not 0-60.
The closest track to me is at 2600ft, so I doubt my gutless TL would even break into the 14s at all, but I'm still pretty curious. Maybe once I break in the engine I'll go out there.

Nothing wrong with 0-60s. You can do them on the roads without getting in serious trouble.
The TL is likely to break into the 14.x seconds 1/4 mile.

I agree that 0-60 is a good stat, but it's just very difficult to measure with any sort of accuracy. Stopwatch and your speedo will produce insanely inaccurate figures. G-tech is better, but only if you do a couple of runs in both directions on a road and then average. Even then it can still be off.
Best way is to just go to the track and get a timeslip.
