Default 0 to 60 Times - Just A Fun Question

Hey everybody, The BIG kids down the street were bragging about 0 to 60 times with Motor Trend magazine type cars. So I wanted to know what 0 to 60 times a mid to low 10 second car would run? Thanks Again, CraigG.

My heavyweight pig of a Lemans does a 4.2 second 0-60.
It'll still run 4.5 seconds to 60 wearing G70-14 Wide Oval's! Let's see one of those cars in Motor Trend do that.

Even my street driven, full interior,old heavy car calculates to a 2.95 second 0-60. Not many Motortrend cars will do that.
