0-60 MPH run at night. Lost traction completely by 35mph, still managed 60 MPH in under 7 secs.

  • What year Riv is this?

  • @texacobigred42 1998 (last generation)

  • i have the same exact car thats been kept in great condition and my 1 to 60 is only 9....did u mod it at all or do something different or does my car have an issue of some sort....please help lol :s

  • @eulaylia Launched correctly, a well-maintained '98 supercharged should do 0-60 in about 8.5 sec. My car is modded for about 25% more power over stock.

  • if you lost traction, don't you just need better tires?

  • I'm running Firehawk Wide Ovals, a sticky summer-only Z-rated tire popular with Vette owners. Being front wheel drive and having 370 lb-ft of torque, it is not easy to modulate the gas pedal on this car. Plus, the road was cold & damp that night. These tires are a good compromise between straight line traction and excellent road holding in the corners, so I like 'em!

  • The only thing is that my stock Cutlass Ciera does 8.5 sec. 0-60. well it did at least. Now I have a vacuum leak and leaking intake manifold gasket.

  • @vanwiseman still, not a bad run. faster than my 97 taurus sho

  • @vanwiseman ohhh ok well i do live in a high altitude so that can explain .5 lol sweet ride tho man :D

  • It picks up really fast!

  • Don't be modest! That was a quick 0-60, like you said being fwd isnt easy putting anykind of significant power down. Not to mention the weight of the Riv! not bad at all! I have a 260hp 260ftlbs fwd and I have trouble too!
