Probably low to mid 3s to 60 mph for a 550 engine HP Backdraft(400 rear wheel HP).

Here are a few cars I tested on colder days for good performance, but I never tried the stop back to 0. The Cobra was actually 2550lbs with me in it and would have been about 500 at the tires on that day I tested it as it was pretty cold air. It's hard to hook two wheels on a cold street though.

Here's a cool test from a magazine. It looks like most sports cars stop from 100 in a bit over 4 seconds.
