Designed specifically and solely for marketing the 0-60 time... no. but certainly didn't hurt!

and where are you getting two shifts?

1 --> 2 (ending at 63-66mph at 9k)

 

The AP2 takes a shift into 3rd to hit 60.....

extending its redline beyond 8200 greatly improves the 0-60 time.

 

while 0-60 is a decent gauge of acceleration and traction that's about all it's good for. who races and stops at the top of 2nd gear? lol

quarter mile time is a much better indicator of a car being faster than another, imo.

and even better gauge is lap times

 

Of course. but alot of magazines,media, and people tend to solely focus on the sprint to 60 and 1/4 mile times. we all know numbers arent the only evidence of a great sports car experience but I guess alot of people can relate to a 60mph sprint time since thats around the max highway speed( well where I am anyway)

 

Who cares?

Its taking off from other speeds that matters. 30-70 etc etc

0-60 aint all that

 

i agree with you. im just saying to alot of people those two things mean alot and are bragging rights terms.

 

When the AP1 was first released in America a "sub-six-second 0-60" was part of the advertising campaign. Certainly figured in my decision to buy back then. Funny how Honda soon dropped that line after experiencing too many tranny & clutch warranty issues.

 

The Bugatti Veyron does 0-60 in less than 3 seconds. As a matter of fact, the Veyron is already past 170 by the time the S2K is hitting the 1/4 mile.










It has nothing to do with this thread. I just thought it was interesting info.

 

unbelievable. the nerve of some posters here

so yes there was a campaign which kind of fortifies this thread.
