Need a credible online source referencing our beauties 0-60 and 1/4 mi times.

Anyone know where to find?

Sorry, I might have started (not intentionally) so I don't want to back down.

This is what happens when you have too much pride, hope you get through it the way you expected it to ... Won't be much of an assistance to you.

The S2000 speaks for itself as a triumph of enineering. You can make just about any car go fast...but it takes a lot more than that to make a sport car. You probably won't get very far with them on that logic, though.

No big deal - even if an official site says that the 0-60 is 6.5 secs, I still like the car...

i just got this today. nissan altima 3.5se automatic 0-60 7.3
1/4 mile 15.6 sec @ 91mph, roadholding .81, emergency lane change manuver 61.

the 0-60 for s2000 is tricky. because of its low torque, 0-60 varies a lot depending on your skill and how high you rev the engine before let go the clutch. i have seen 5.2 to 6.8 depending on the magzine. most magzine got something around 5.8 though.

personally, i would have ignored those idiots, but then since you started already, go get them. by the way, the best 0-60 i have seen for altima 3.5 is 6.3 secs.

I finally saw one of those on the road. I was thoroughly disappointed. The ads I had seen on TV made the car look very much like the Lexus GS400, IMO, which I am very fond of. The one I saw in person didn't. Oh well, to each his own, I guess.

I've read that thread. It's a hopeless debate. I'd walk away and never look back. The comparison between the two cars is ludicrous to make.

I just read it too...hopeless. Sounds like that 2002altima guy has issues because he has to drive a "familly" car around.
