I know people are obsessed with 0-60 times thanks to magazines and the like. But in all honesty, 60 ft times in the 1/4 mile tell the true story. So far, people have not been able to get decent 60 ft times due to the lack of traction. In fact, there isn't a single FI car that has a better 60' time than the fastest all motor cars. What do you think that's going to do for 0 - 60 times? If you can't hook up off the line, then your 0 - 60 isn't going to be all that great...just like the 60 ft times.

So what does that mean? 0 - 60 is more about traction and driver ability than it is about horsepower on this platform.

All that said, if you really want the numbers, then you need the equipment and access to a closed track to measure it. But again, since there's two big variables (traction and driver ability) in getting consistent numbers. That means, 0 - 60 times are going to be all over the place and will be utterly meaningless. I mean, if you took a decent size sample of cars with the same horsepower and torque and plotted the data points, the 0 - 60 times would more than likely look like a scatter plot instead of a bell curve and you would not be able to make heads or tails of the data.

The bottom line: your mileage will vary.
