Is this true ? : Zero-to-sixty actually doesn't matter so much ?

kenchan

do they measure from the throttle input of the foot? cause i think they just measure from when the car starts moving or the G force these days?

maybe the rolling start might be affected..but

90 ST

I would think when the car starts moving, but it takes some time for the "pedal" to give full throttle, if at all until higher speeds.

The track measures when the car moves,,,lol- listen to the video I posted & you can here the gas pedal smack the plate a bit before the rpm gauge even moves....that will change in the upcoming weeks.(you can here it go "tink",delay & takes off...also; these cars are heavier than people think...mine weighs 3340 full of fuel & 3640 w/ me & my helmet.
@ just over 6'5" & 285lbs, perfect fit in the ~Z~ don't think I would have the legroom with a clutch pedal though.
Loving my 7sp. Auto.

Kind of interesting numbers and engineering. Short of specific drag custom setups with wheelie bars etc look at hp/TQ #'s. Let's say 5 seconds to 60 in the z with 332, Genesis 348, mustang 430, etc. now take a Bugatti, 918, p1,etc. 1000hp range and awd with launch control to cut that five to 2.5. It's insanely exponential!! Though GTR and 911 turbo do it mid 500's...weight. The killer.

Not too shabby. Won't have too many jockeying for position at next light I imagine. And that to me, I see an opening in this circus of zombies, man I got that chit, I don't care who's next to me, cuz 9/10 they don't even know what they can do. I LOVE 0 to 60. Everyone knows, everyday, they see 200 yards ahead, some car makes a move to "first place" then to dog at green and have yet another bottleneck cuz they don't understand flow. When I'm in front, on my roads...geezuz, 90% of the time,99, just a huge cluster behind me. 2 cars, 2 lanes...doing 3 mph under. Move!!! So yea 0 to 60 in the limited right environment-huge. Cuz even when a Caravan "nails" it off the line we are static at 40. Go!!! You assshat!!

I gotta say.... we have a pretty awesome group here. Even Kenchan too!

This is really a great forum.

I think 40-80 is more important than 0-60 when it comes to normal driving. It shows more about how the car pulls through the middle of the gears rather than what it can do as you bounce the rev limiter. That being said I drive more speritedly than most. It spends a lot of time north of 4K and more time than it probably should on the bottle.

I guess what I'm saying is different statistics are important to people for different reasons because we all use our cars in different ways.

I don't think most Z owners are married.

Without back seats, having children just means that it's time to sell out Z unless the owner is pretty rich to afford Z as his second car.

Therefore, I guess many nembers here might be pretty young.
