Dear thor-- If you have the standard engine (230 hp. V-8) in your 1958 Chevrolet Corvette your 0-60 time was 9.2 seconds. The optional 250 hp. got the job done in 7.6 seconds. For a complete look at that year, go to-- http://www.100megsfree4.com/corvette/1950/vet58.htm. That site is a fun read. Enjoy it. Good luck from Bovan.
