0-60mph? How about 0-70mph?
I know a lot of people here are hung up on 0-60mph times. I have no way of measuring that metric in my car, so I have no idea how fast my 0-60 is. But I did notice something recently.
At my last trip to the drag strip, I noticed that I'm shifting into 3d gear about 10 feet past the 330ft mark. With my tires, 2nd gear tops out at 71.1mph, so let's call it 70mph. Now when I look at my timeslips, my best run shows I'm hitting the 330 foot mark in 5.738 seconds.
So that means my car is capable of going from 0 to 70mph in 5.7 seconds. Of course that's after all my mods and on drag radials, but not too shabby either.
