we already told you in your other thread.

One easy way if you are in the states is to switch the speedo to KMH. You will notice a significant increase in 0-60

Are you trying to win a 0-60 competition? You're not playing to this car's strong points here.

Take your concern for 0-60 and toss them out. Then go hit some corners like Chris Brown hitting Rihanna and report back. You're welcome.

The only major thing you can do is install a turbo which will drastically improve your 0-60. Apart from that there are little mods you can do but the gains will not be significant (intake, exhaust, reducing weight).

Wait longer?

It'll go really fast. You just have to wait.

Trade it in if you are that worried about straight line speed. Enjoy it for what it is, do a few minor mods, and improve what you can.

The car is already faster than you are as a driver. Spend some time on sport driving lessons and see what this slow car can do.

Put the car in R for race, hold the brake, push the gas to the floor and release the brake at 7500 rpm.

I was able to get down to about 5.4 seconds that way.
