0 to 60 times?

Ok, this is what the magazines say... what about you?

Manuals:

Motorway: Claims major magazine did 8.7 seconds
Edmunds: 9.3 Seconds
MSN Autos:
-Sport: 9.25 seconds
-LX: 9.46 seconds
FamilyCar: 9.3 seconds
Autoweek: 9.3 seconds


Automatics:

MotorTrend: 9.8 seconds
Car and Driver: 10.4 seconds
FamilyCar: 10.4 seconds
Motorweek: 11.0 seconds
MSN Autos: 11.45 seconds
Yahoo Autos: 11.9 seconds

Then I opened Consumer Reports and found:
Consumer Reports: 12.4 seconds!

What is your take?

-Oscar Jr.

I'll like to see that too, tho I am not a drag man anymore. I Don't like to hit the throttle and drop the clutch.

But it is a very interesting topic you bring Oscar.

Lets see the results

I would like to know... with my i/h/tp/cat-back, I can honestly say that the fit really reaches 60 alot faster than stock. As soon as spring gets here Im gonna go to the track and see what my 1/4 times look like.

Yeah, looks like those AT Fit's need them in a bad way.

I'd say my 11k Fit was about 9.5 stock.....I'd heard the 11 sec claim and was worried that it would be too slow (Like my '81 Prelude that the old Jackson Racing in Westminster used to service in the 80's and 90's....).
But my 'street' starts (No 4500 RPM+ Clutch drops..) were in the 9.5-9.9 sec range. But since I put on my axleback exhaust and intake this past weekend, I haven't checked yet. Seat of the pants seems about 1/2 -1 sec quicker..... I 'll report later...
But Oscar, if you wanted to test my Fit to prototype any parts, I'd be more than happy to oblige!

The automatic numbers are just all over the place! It is hard to give numbers to you guys when we have nothing to go off of.

0-60 time in my AT Fit is somewhere around a half hour....or so it seems. Although, I think motortrend is closest. Using a cheap stopwatch I got it at about 9.7 secs. Not that easy to get dead on accurate, and it is some faster using the paddles.
