It costs too much in fuel, tyres and clutch plates to do a full bore 0-60 these days.

37mph to 41mph is where it's at.

I don't get this thread. Can someone explain?

(Are we to guess which of the OP's two cars would win at the traffic light grand prix? Is it a trick question?)

Used to love my MX5 precisely because of this. BRRAAAAHH, change, BRRAAAAAHHH, change, BRAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH... 55mph smile

Impreza around 6 seconds, MX5 around 9, MR2 NA around 7-8?

Elise S2 111S. About 10-15 seconds usually - I can rarely be bothered to accelerate any faster than that from a standstill.

I agree , 30-60 or 60-100 is where you see some proper speed as 0-60's depends entirely in getting a perfect launch.
My old 850 was mad from 60-100.

My unimog won't even do 60mph

How about 0 to 60 degrees ?

DC5 apparently is 6.8 according to Honda but different texts have shown different figures apparently, some higher some a lot lower.

BMW about 4-5sec, I had a play with the iPhone app thing and got 4.7 average out of 3 runs. (still a boring car to drive)

The lola does it in about 3 something, lotus and camco about 4 something.

But the old racer can do it in 15 seconds driving. now thats exciting! Head down bowls open, hands and feat moving like crazy, just so I can beat a 1.9tdi rep-mobile at the traffic light GP.
