I just bought a 2.4t and I was wondering what kind of 1/4 mile should I expect out of it? I'm selling my 69 firebird 400 (anyone interested?

That's a heck of a big change in automotive environment. There's a writeup on the 2.4T with geartronic on this site.

Thanks for the reply. Ya it's a jump, but I have other firebirds.

I would say the S60 2.4T in in the 15.7 second range for the 1/4 mile and 7.4 second range 0-60 mph.

Here we go, I hope this helps:

How far off is the 2.4T from the T5 is real world driving in terms of speed? It seems from what I've read that they are less than a second apart in 0-60mph; maybe even .6 seconds. Is that real?

An S60T5 will be quite a bit quicker than an S60 2.4T especially if the T5 is equipped with the manual transmission. First gear is even but once a T5 goes into its second gear then...poof! The 2.4T has less turbo lag, though.

P.S. BTW, manual transmission T5s (S60s and S/V70S) have been recorded to accelerate as quickly as 6.3 seconds from 0 to 60mph.

I think get a 2.4T then get a new chip that gets it to 230HP which is cheaper than buying a T5.
