I don't know specific #'s. But I've read on some posts that the gears cut down on 1/4 mile times anywhere from .1 to .4 seconds.

I would guess 0-60 times would be low 5's.

eh stock s2k can break 5.5s to 60. magazines got as low as 5.3s. 0-60 times don't really mean anything anyway.. its more a function of grearing. 1/4 mile time is a much better ruler. with 4.57 gears and a good driver, the S should be able to break 13.5s

nobody really has the right equipment to get exact 0-60 and 30-100 times. that's magazine crap.

the car feels faster with more power where you need it. but in order to get a fast 0-60 time, you'll have to dump the clutch.

So with gears, theres more potential to get a worse 0-60 than stock?

With 4.57's you have to shift to 3rd gear before 60, so there's potential to get a worse 0-60 time (assuming you're in an AP1).

I thought according to the Reverends garage gear calculator an AP1 would hit 62 in 2nd with 4.57s?

That's not what I get, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.
