0-60 is a horrible measure of a cars performance. Any high performance car on street tires will most likely spin them at some point, thus ruining the 0-60 time.
60' ft time is a good measure of a car's traction and acceleration though.

I know that 0-60 is a horrible way to judge a car's performance but I was still just curious as to hear this formula to see what my car has done for ***** and giggles.

0-60mph is the standard most magazines use to measure a car's acceleration performance. I would like to know how my car stacks up to all those new cool cars that only have 0-60mph times.

Look, 0-60 is all about the driver and traction. The magazines say our cars stock will do 60 in about 5 seconds. With different drivers and conditions that number could variate from 4 to 6 seconds. Better tires, and a good driver, possible sub 4 seconds. Crappy driver, no traction you're looking at 6 seconds. Too many variables.

5.2X on street tires on a real street (not prepped track) with a good amount of spinning, stock. My G-tech doesn't get as much use as it should, but you'd be surprised how hard it is to find a good spot to use them.

haha...that is a cool little formula. Mine calculated out to be 0-60 in 5.6 seconds (I guess thats because I got a 2.31 60' time ) I have concluded that I suck at driving a stick...especially by looking at my 1/4 mile time
