12 seconds is my guess IF it can get to 60. Can it?

If you think this is how you’re going to get your wife on board with an AWD LS1 swap, you’re about to be sorely mistaken.

Sundial.

The fintail can pull it off in about 11.5-12, I think - I will guess 16 for this.

Kinja'd!!!

This was the metro time taken with the torque app. So I’ll say 24.7

it is an automatic correct?

I feel I’m probably overestimating it, but I’m going with 16 seconds.

My guess would be a 27 second quarter mile at 65mph, so I’ll go with... about 20 seconds to 60?

Don’t thrash it too hard. If I ever buy that thing off you I don’t want it smelling like butter and lobster sauce.

10.5 seconds if you cheat and use 4-lo.

I’ve got a lot of seat time in this car, and I know the excitement of speeding in a 35 zone.

While I want to imply that the time will be slow enough to need to account for tectonic drift, I’ll give a real guess of just under 16 seconds.

I bet 17.5 seconds if you run it up to redline for maximum powerrrrr, and like 20 if you shift like a normal human on an onramp.

Kinja'd!!! "Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo" (thetomselleck)
07/10/2017 at 01:07, STARS: 0

I don’t think it’s capable of redlining. I’ve tried.

Well, I don’t really know anything about this engine so maybe revving it that high wouldn’t help anyway...I guess I’ll stand by my guesstimate and/or range.

It’s a SOHC 8-valve engine that made 63 HP.
