I use 0-60 times when comparing cars, though it's clearly not the end-all be-all statistic. I do have some personal criteria though. - try to stick with the same source

I use 0-60 times when comparing cars, though it's clearly not the end-all be-all statistic. I do have some personal criteria though.
- try to stick with the same source for times. Mags will run a car over and over in various ways until they get THE fastest time they can eke out of a run. That's the number they use. It might not be a practical number for most of us that don't drag. Every source runs differently and with different numbers. But as long as you're measuring with the same test, you can do some valid comparisons. (test road, test driver(s), conditions, altitude, stockness...) - mag times aren't going to be times that I experience on the road. But it still does demonstrate straight line speed in a test. *shrug* - It's not a "stupid" statistic. It's not the only statistic, but it's not a stupid one.- I don't "race" my car, so it's not like I have firsthand times on hand, just like a large majority of drivers. I'll let someone else "race" the car and come back with times. Just because that happens, doesn't make the statistic "stupid." |

Every time a turn is involved I bet. I see them holding up traffic on winding roads nearly every day.

No, the brand spanking new ones. This is on a winding mountain road where they hold up SUV's and vans too. Not off the line where they absolutely shine.
I'd love to report the opposite. If it ever happens I will but even my Mustang buddy who stayed at my place two weeks, depressingly noted the same thing.

A 5.0 beats a 370z 9/10, especially a stock one. Even full bolt on Z would have a hard time hanging.. Everytime I have been to the track, or watched videos, 5.0's are pullin HARD.

Anyway, the auto Z is a sub 5 second car and it should be noted.

my mustang comment was in regards to off the line and roll ons. ive raced numerous. and my 370 pulled every time. (stock)
my jab at busas was all in fun since busa owners tend to be sensitive. lol but ive never had an issue beating up the new gt 5.0's i honestly expected better. but in defense of the mustang. 97% of the idiots that drive them have no idea how to drive. lol |
