0-60 in under five seconds is easy; FI and gears, a little launching skill, and a differential that can take the beating, and you're there.

Drive it off a cliff. You'll be accelerating at -9.8m/s/s.

1) stop going by 0-60 time just because that's what they advertise on tv and in magazines.

2) 0-60 times don't say anything. even if you want to street race, the race will really only pick up after 60mph anyway.

Exactly.

stock gears get to 60 faster then 4.77s. But yet the 4.77s will be ahead from a stop. Anyone want to try and exlpain , Never go by 0-60. But the answer to this question is pretty simple.
