I highly doubt that, manufacturers and media still quote 0-60 as some notable figure.

I don't think 0-60 is going anywhere. It's what most people remember, and are comfortable with.

That said.. just because the imperial system is ubiquitous doesn't mean it's good.

Majofo

What teh fuck are you guys talking about

0-60

charliemike

In my defense I mentioned 0-62, also known as 0-100 Km/hour

A loaded Audi S3 is $50K. So many monies.

Majofo

Or a 335 with some options.

Here in Richmond, that's as common as a -girl with an LV bag.


Guess what the color is? White. All of them.

My buddy buddy got a 2014 S5 Prestige. So fucking jealous. Then my car got hit and I've been like the rest of the day. The car is gorgeous. If I could only fit two dogs in one

Any of you boys fans of Jag's E-Type? Well, Jaguar just made it official that they are issuing a batch a la "Lightweight" version.

Check out the thread if you want more info.

You want jealous? Consider the kids here in Vancouver who are driving around 911 Turbos, Ferraris, Aston Martins...

Some of them, their day job? Working at Best Buy or Safeway.

335 with some aftermarket options

where is worse? Vancouver or San gabriel Valley 626 Los Angeles?

When you start comparing 0-60 times in, say the 2.5-3.5 second range, that number becomes more and more unreliable since plenty of other factors play a bigger role. For example, car that runs a 3.2 or a 3.3 one day, and a 3.5 another day is a bigger deal than the gap between a 6.5 and a 6.7 time.

And by soon I meant like 5-8ish years. JMO.

feels like i am back in HS again...

I normally don't care about it either. I'm not concerned about acceleration while the case is moving to get around trucks and idiots

S5 is extremely sexy.

Just cram one dog in the front seat and one in the back.

charliemike

His car is insane. Beautiful. Has the carbon trim and just about every option. I was a little jealous but only in that I'd love to have that car. He deserves it. He's been through a lot, persevered, and is incredibly generous to his family that honestly are a bunch of fuckups. So him doing something nice for himself like this is not normal. I was happy for him that he finally treated himself to something really nice. He works his ass off.

S5

I drove one for the first time a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it.

srika

I think when manufacturer's show 0-60 time, they are only showing a "best". I think it's understood that the car is not always going to run that time. And let's face it when you are going this fast, nobody's going to be like well you said the car would do it in 2.9 sec but in reality it took 3.5 seconds.

After racing on a road course I unfortunately have very little interest in just driving a supercar on the street. It would undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience. One that you can brag to all your friends about. But I don't feel like you're getting the real thing

oonowindoo

Makes me wanna waste $3,000 for 7hp after watching this video.

Yumcha

Dooooo it.

oonowindoo

never mind, this video just killed it for me. (from the recommended video after the F30)

WOW...

This might be the first domestic car i could see my Asian ass in.

How much????

Majofo

The challanger hellcat is 59.9.. same ballpark I'm guessing. It has 12# of boost, 9.5 CR with all new forged internals including crank, rods and pistons. New heads to withstand the boost. It can be programmed down to 300 or 500 hp in case you want to let one of your dumb buddies drive it. It also has electronic cutouts, pzeros and the challenger has a front ram intake, not sure if it's fitted on the charger as well. It's a freaking beast of car. low 11's on pzeros, mid 10s on drags.

Majofo

It was also built to run at the track all day long and stay in op temp, plus tip toe at 20 mpg. At WOT, this sucker can burn 1.5 gallons of petro in a minute though.

oonowindoo

We call that Smile Per Gallon.


Shit at $60k... that will be bargain of the century in terms of performance.

I hope it handles decent.

looks like we got a superfan in the house.....

Love it.

oonowindoo

you meant me?

I think it looks very aggressive and you can't argue with 707 HP supercharged V8 at $60k...

It may not handle well.... but the price and 707hp make up for everything.
