O-60 in 4 seconds in a C-body, what's the motor?????
What's the chassie setup??
Were you watching to speedometer to learn the 0-60 times, or
was this on the drag strip???

Uncommon tire slippage will through the speedo off,
But is tire slippage all that uncommon in a C-Body???

What you MIGHT be experiencing is much better traction with the new
tires now, and a truer speed measurment now.
