Gs4... On Track To Get Slower?
I realize resources like edmunds aren't the most reliable, but they've got zero-60 times at 5.4 for '98 and '99 models.
In 2000, curb weight stays the same and yet the time is slower: zero to 60 in 5.9.
In 2001 and 2002 again, according to edmunds, the same zero to 60 run takes 6.3 Shouldn't speeds be increasing, if weight isn't increasing much at all? What's gonna happen in 2003, a 6.6 run time?

No one knows what's going to happen. And 5.4 stock is lower than any other 'test' result I've seen. 5.8/5.9 for the entire model run is about right.

There has been one member here who has tested a QM of 13.9
I don't recal anyone else posting numbers as low, but most people actually do post numbers in the 14s and 6s.

I think I remember the 13.9 time post, does anyone recall if that was stock, or with several mods...

All it takes is money, Wally. Good for you if you want to spend all that dough.
