The car is definitely capable of 0-60 faster than 6.8 seconds, but I haven't bothered trying to time myself. If you want a fast 0-60 car (or fast 1/4-mile), save yourself a lot of money. For about $5K you can probably build a car that does 10 seconds in the quarter mile from a junkyard. It would suck in every other way though

Launching the car matters for two things: drag racing, and I guess street racing

. It's really not worth pursuing in this car, it's not a drag car, and street racing from a stoplight is stupid. All you're doing is stressing your drivetrain for no good reason.

FYI, I have a 2006 350Z 5AT that weighs more (3400 lbs), has far less horsepower (283 hp) and can do a 0-60 in about 5.8 sec. Something is definately wrong there.
