E55 0-60 times with a Stage 2?
I couldn't find anything "direct" on this doing a search, so I figured I'd just make a new post.
My car has a Kleemann K2, VRP airbox & tubes & a LET HE. My friends ask what the 0-60 time is & I've never given them an answer, because I really don't know.
Assuming a Stage 2 car, (Pulley, ECU & Headers) should predictably run in the high 11's, what would a solid 0-60 time be?
Doing some reverse engineering with other car tests that show 0-60 & 1/4 mile times, I would assume that it will do 3.4-3.8 0-60. Is this reasonable? Obviously, not everyone can do it, traction & driver skill are huge factors.
Any thoughts, opinions, or is this a good assumption?

sorry to say.. but around here we really don't care about 0-60
thats for the lower tier cars that want to jump from 6 to 5 and 5 to 4 and lower.. like the sti's, evo's, 350z, 335i
around here you measure power by trap speed and 1/4 etas and maybe some 0-100 and to 150
others like 60-130 pulls..

You're unlikely to run high 11's with Stage 2 without a LSD, DR's, and good weather. You have the power, but not the traction. Likewise, I seriously doubt you'll run below 4 from 0-60 for the same reasons. People often increase the power of the E before getting an LSD though a stock E is already traction limited.

I know the focus is on 1/4 mile & high speed, but I would assume people would have a good idea, even if they "really don't care".
I don't care too much, but I have been asked & would like to have some form of canned response other than "really fast". Most any other performance car owner could find it in the pages of any car rag. The times there aren't usually indicative of what "any old driver" can do either, but people still spit them out like gospel.
Edited to add: Thanks to those who attempted to give a real answer & not imply I'm asking ricer questions.

But really, anything around 4 seconds is going to be realistic depending on traction.

E55
To try and answer your question, IIRC Road and Track says 4.1 or 4.2 for a stock 55 depending on when they reported (they list the E63 Wagon at 4.1). My best is a 3.9 with brand new Nitto 555's according to the SpeedTracer software from Auto Enginuity. Now that the tires have lost their grip (20k miles) I am in the high 4's.
As most have pointed out, traction is the largest enemy and your times will vary wildly with tire brand, condition and driver skill. Hope that helps.

I ran 11.6 @ 120 with the renntech pulley and ecu on PS2's.....
as for 0-60, using the gtec, on the street, I can get 4.0x if I'm lucky, usually 4.1x.... at the drag strip, the gtec mesaured a 3.71 0-60 time during one of the 11.6 runs....
