0-60mph Times With Mods

Please post your 0-60 times and/or 1/4mile times with a list of modifications done on your MCS. If know HP and TQ value would be nice. I think this way newbies like me can get an idea what mods are common and what to expect from them.

I think because of it's front wheel drive architecture and front to rear weight transfer, it will be difficult to break out of the low to mid 5 second range, regardless of mods. The front end just gets so light that adding more power seems to exaggerate wheel spin. Example, when my car was stock, I could floor it all the way through 1st, now, I can't really do that because I just send the tires spinning. Once I get into second, it's not so much a problem.

I have to agree. Since I started this post I have added a few mods and first gear is very hard to get a handle on. I can imagine with your mods it most much worse. I wonder if anyone has a very helpful tire wheel combo that could help. I was reading car and driver and they posted that mcs does it 6.6 seconds. That seems to much slower than it really is.

Up until last month I had the Bridgestone RE-01R tires on my car, some of the stickiest tires out there and still broke them loose in first, at any rpm, so i really believe that is the reason for relatively low 0-60 times compared to how the car feels accelerating once underway. That being said, i don't really drag race this car, but once underway, it surprises many more formidable cars
