I have noticed that most car manufacturers give a liberal number for the 0 to 60 times of their vehicles. For instance the SS/SC was rated at 0 to 60 in about 6.5 seconds and then you read about it doing 60 in 6 seconds flat. Will this theory hold true for the SS/TC? If so any estimates for the 0 to 60 times?

all about the driver really...

Very true but wat do you think it is capable of?

joeworkstoohard

probably about 6.

with a front drive, that's about where a 4 banger hovers... no matter the power level (on a stock car)

I wouldn't hold my breath. A ton of extra torque and HP, and nothing to help it all get to the ground, it's gonna hop/spin like crazy I bet

the lnf is not unerrated like the lsj was/is. i bet most lnf's will put out about 10-20whp more than a lsj, which is not enough to make too big of a difference. that being said, it will be close with a slight advantage going to the lnf.

also they dont launch cars when they test 0-60 times..they just release the clutch and go..

clicknd

Ok.. so with a launch wat is this car capable of?...

Super_SS

i myself have gotten my car to 60 in under 5.2 seconds many times..but like other members said,more power means less traction

RForte1189

The SS T/C was recorded doing 0-60 in 5.7 seconds.

ghostleg

how do you think the added torque will affect it? i believe its going to be rough geting this car to 60 in much under 6 seconds...hell my buddies GTI 1.8t starts hopping like a kangaroo once it hits like 2700 rpm and thats stock with like 173 tq.

Super_SS

power band is diffrent...maybe his car gets full trq at 3000rpm

REIGN SS

GM says "around" 5.7 seconds for the LNF balt... You have to take into consideration, the SS/TC has the no-lift shift, which im sure really helps its 0-60 time

cobalt_driver

no doubt it's gonna b rough...cobalts r notorious for wheel hopping. but i don't doubt 6 seconds. it's do-able and also if u get some a/m tires and a torque dampner and get new mounts u've eliminated alot of wheel hop. i have a 2.2 and i put a stage 2+ clutch in and i hop ALOT when i launch. alot of it has to do with the driver. someone just going into a car isn't going to know alot about it, like launching, shift spots...etc. alot of it relies on the driver. i had to re-learn how to launch my car and how to just regularly drive it after installing the a/m clutch. also the electronic t/b didn't help either.

Super_SS

no lift helps on turbo's because they loose boost in-between shifts,where if u power shift a na/supercharged car,u wont loose any boost

ghostleg

yes i never even took that into consideration Super_SS...i guess that goes to show...me...gotta wait til its out...

cobalt_driver, i know where your coming from with teh wheel hop. i have a 2.2 eco fire now and it loved to hop before i got my motor mounts.

LNF Balt :

G85 : 5.5
Non G85 : 6+

What is the 0-60 without using no lift shift on the lnf

austinss

I don't remember if it was motortrend or automobile mag. ( I get both) They got 5.8 sec without NLS.

Gm says 5.7 sec 0-60 for the ss/sc & ss/tc

wantedSS/TC

that has nothing to do with straight line performance. LSD only helps in turns

Damn, that's news to me. I cut a few 2.0 60ft times without LSD. If I had it i'd be getting 1.7 60ft times bone stock!

LNF was rated at 5.7 by GM, I've seen as low as 5.4 in a magazine (I believe it was Road and Track). It really depends on the driver more than anything. I find when Edmunds reviews a car, their 0-60 times usually suck compared to R&T.

I never know what my car does 0-60 because the speedometer is too damn slow lol.

its very hard to use NLS from 1st to 2nd simply because the gear is to short.... or at least if u use the NLS sometime the car wont let you put in second gear.... i did 0-60 when i was stock using COMP mode in 5.4 Sec.

x2 !! LSD is for helping in the twisties .... it has nothing to do with off the line traction, unless you have a more uneven/slicker surface under one tire than the other.

As for 0-60 for the ss/sc GM rated it at 6.1sec to 60 straight outta the box. Some magazines did better or worse than GM's rating. The ss/tc was rated at 5.7sec to 60.
