0-60mph... Pedal to the medal times?

Just curious what times people are getting for 0-60.

Want to know where I stand performance wise.

Please give your time, car year, engine, carb & any other mods your running.

For myself I'm not running any mods.
Stock 85 GSL-SE with 12A engine.
Stock carb except for mechanically linked secondary's.

Time: 11.5 seconds with myself and a passenger.

Haven't timed it yet with just myself in the car.

Thanks,
Orb

10 something in my first GS that i dont own anymore (i wasnt that impressed), im sure as **** hoping better than that in my current GS. i'll have to whip out the g-tech one of these days..

keep in mind a extra passenger really bogs down the power of the car, and you'll have that 12a working extra hard to push the extra weight of the SE.

i think the factory #'s were around 10 seconds, not too great, but easily improved on.
