RX SC 0-60

Please post if you have this. If you dont, DO NOT DISREGARD. This gives you a reason to go out and drive your car and film it and bring it back here

Why is 0-60 so important to you?
It's all in suspension and torque. Not sure much the power you make.
I'd assume since these are centris they may have a more impressive 0-100 than 0-60. I bet these things pick up mph like crazy.

Have to agree somewhat.

You want to improve your 0 - 60....get the best suspension for grip and also tires.

I have pretty much all bolt ons except for headers on my car and I know if I were able to just nail the gas without spin I could easily get a low 5 second run. Using Torque (an app on my phone) I have never been able to get below a 5.8 second run. With TC on and launching from just above idle, the TC will interfere with my run costing me precious tenths of a second. With TC off, with anything much more than a roll-on of the throttle she just spins which really kills it lol.

Of course, it can be even harder in the automatic with the open rear differential.

Well my whole point is if a stock SS can do it in 4.7 I would hope to see a boosted v6 in mid 4 seconds to 60

a boosted V6 shouldn't have an issue doing better than 4.7

Flex is awd so it's easier to get traction. Granted it does weigh over 1000 lbs more.
