IMHO there is absolutely no way that you can drive, look at the road, the speedometer and a stop a watch at the same time. Get some one else to time you so that you can make some accurate measurements.
Bingo.
Just respect the car is still that quick as it nears the 200k mile marker...
the closest track to me is like 3 hours away. test and tune is on fridays so i would have to take a day off of work. I know the car can run faster than that.
only thing it has is spair and jack and i had around 1/4 tank of gass. no junk in it. i will try some other things. i beleive the biggest thing was the launch.
The speedometer is going to introduce uncertainty in your measurement process and so is your reaction time. If you can't go to a track you could try a g-meter. I have a Bel GX-2 and I was getting high 5's to low 6's with it. Pretty much inline with what the car mags say for a stock GS. I haven't test it since I modded the suspension and intake. I'll have to do that sometime.
I use a g-tech pro and can consistently get 0-60 in the high 5's. My best time is 5.4. Still saved on my gtech. That run was on stock wheels and 2800tc. On my 20's i get high 5's low 6's. oh yeah its an '02 gs430.
ok i tried another run today and it was even colder. it launched like a bat out of hell. didnt even chirp tires. 6.4. thats better. im going to try to get a gtech or something like that so i will get more acurate reading. drag strip is over 2 hours away. so that sucks.
Check your plugs and your air filter. I have 174k on my gs4 and I got 6 secs flat with stuff in the trunk. I also beat an acura tl about a car and a half to 70 just for a second opinion.

i need new plugs but air filter is fine. i also have the 17's so i wander if that would slow it down some. How did you check time?
