Re: Fastest 0 to 60 Car? (66ImpalaLT1)
What do you think I do 0-60 in and based on what?
Ok, I believe this calculator is saying that to get to the 60 ft mark in 1.38 seconds you have to average 1.97 Gs (notice I DIDN'T say run a constant 1.97 Gs.) I believe it is also saying that if you average 1.97 Gs for 1.38 seconds that you will be traveling 59.29 MPH at that point.
Are you familiar with a G-Tech (I know, it's not the most accurate piece of equipment in the world but the theory is sound.) It tells you your 1/4 ET and your trap speed based solely on the measurement of G-forces. It does this based on the idea that a certain average G-force over a certain amount of time equals a certain velocity and a certain distance traveled.

Whats the matter you guys, you cant believe a Mustang could do 0 to 60 mph in 1.9..... Car & Driver tested that Boss Mustang at 1.9 period. The car was a one off custom factory car, but it ran 1.9.

I'm with Chris on this one. I believe they hit 60 in under half a second which is close enough to .28 for me. :jester :eek:
