3.0 manual (non bosted) - best acceleration times?

Just wondering for people who have done the usual mods: tune (by Kido, or someone else), headers, 3rd cat delete, high flow cats etc, what sort of 0-100 times and 400m times are they getting?

Non turbo and non S/C cars of course, and 6 speed

I believe that that the stock time is 6.9.

^^ as above.

Although I think 1/8 mile MPH is a better gauge of the car's ability to accellerate quickly. Especially for a street car
1/4 mile MPH generally shows how much brute power it has.

so, post your slips.. :D

but personally,
rolling on from 40-120m/h times shows how fast your car is on the road in the real world.
there's a great section of road near my place that allows this test. slightly uphill too.
you need to do 40km/h around the roundabout then boot it.
a reasonable car will hit 120km/h by the time you pass a road-sign.
slow cars (like my gen3 2.5 auto) will be around 100 or under.
And anything over 140 is generally 200kw ATW+
