lol i was wondering that too, so out of 120+ threats he got ill say 95 are just taking space on the forums, the rest are just answers to coments from ike or somebody else. so yea letting you know; so far you have not said anything good, or worth mentioning.

 

Model Year/Trim: 87 buick grand national
Weather condition: dry clear and cool
DSC/TCS on/off: car doesnt have these
Aftermarket upgrades: none- not even chipped
Time (seconds): 4.5 seconds
Method of timing (i.e. stopwatch, etc): mississippi's by freind in passenger seat( read that "victim" scared the hell ou tof him- never had gone that quick before.)

 

I don't understand. Isn't 7.6 pretty average for this car? I remember Car and Driver getting a very similar time because of the lack of low-end torque. Generally 5-60 times are going to be higher than 0-60 times because you can't (or at least don't) do a clutch dump. Since the 8 needs a 6k launch to get into the 5's for 0-60, 7.6 sounds about right for 5-60.

 

It's totally average, anyone that thinks they're going to do much better is fooling themselves.

 

I'm above average 5.missis. very acurrate.

 

Haha, I just got that. I'm smart!!

 

well i just dropped the cluthc on a0-60 run and then only counted from 5 to 60. 5.5seconds(rx-8 not the previously mentioned GN)

 

While I'm fairly certain zoom44 was joking, I just want to clear something up. A 5-60 time is basically a "rolling start". It's not intended to be a launch from 6k and then just a time measurement from 5-60. That would be sorta pointless. All cars have slower 5-60 times than 0-60 times because 5-60 is intended to give a good measurement of how quick the car is when you don't do a big launch.

The 8 has a particularly large differential between its 0-60 time (~5.9 seconds) and its 5-60 time (~7.4 seconds) because of the lack of torque at lower rpms.

 

this 1 time i hit 85mph and i went back in time anyone else experience this?

 

Nice try noobie, but time travel occurs at 88mph.

 

ahh whatever i just wanted to say something like rinkadinks next post will be about ><

 

nope- 320

 

weak . . . lame . . .



da man, always keepin me down. lol

 

All you guys who found this thread "ridiculous" and dumb are still posting in it. I don't get it.

 

It has become clear you "don't get" a lot of things.

 

Whaaaaa?? No one used the word "dumb" before you in this thread. The one dude who posted the word "ridiculous" stopped posting 7 hours ago.

 

This thread is hilarious... I think im going to go count my mississippi's...

 

I am on way to my garage to recharge my flux capacitor, then youll se some serious sh-t!

 

Free Post ! That's why.

I just read this thread, and it's funny.

True dat, +1 for all!

 

I see. BTW, what was the "good or worth mentioning" portion of your above post?

 

Note that I put the word ridiculous in quotation marks and that I DID NOT put dumb in quotation marks. Many of you implied that either the thread was dumb, or I was dumb.

 

huh? we're implying something? no way...

 

I thought I was being pretty direct with how I feel...

 

By the way, I did 5-60 in 5.2 bananas tonight!
