Time for me to chime in.
The article said 7.1 0-60 and a 1/4 of 15.3 at 93 mph. However I have done a 1/4 in as little as 14.8 at 94.8 mph. So I have to think that my 0-60 time was less than 7 sec I would think as Craig said about 6.7 or 6.8. You should have no problem getting traction on wider tires.
I have seen other members say that a 400E/E420 w/ a 3.07 rear will out run a 500E in the 1/4 but it is hard to say unless some one has one w/ 1/4 times.
I too have considered this upgrade but I dont think I will do it. Because I would loose highway MPG, I dont have any money for that right now (I just bought new wheels), and by the time I would be able to do it will have a newer faster car (in the long future that is).

Oh and besides K&N airfilers, and springs my car was stock, and it had a speker box in the trunk, this is at the time of my 1/4 run.
