0-60 in a mid 9 second car

[GNBRETT]

nonetheless ur car will smoke most motorcycles out there from a dig or a roll.....

Bret, like I said earlier. It just doesn't add up. On the average, the bike is loosing acceleration somewhere. Even if the 60 foot time is similar. When both run the same MPH the bike looses. So it seems to me it's somewhere around the 0-60. It's just 2 different animals.

Anyway, I was more concerned with what my 0-60 was. Not so much anything else. I guess it's pretty good though.

As long as someone else is driving it though.

On my runs, I have logged MPH.

Question. Has anyone analyzed their ET MPH and tried to calculate when their car hit 60 MPH after the launch?

On mine, it appears to be around 1.8 seconds. Is this accurate?

looks right to me...My logs show 1.77 seconds

Well, It seems as if all of us who are in the mid 9 second and faster performance level all own cars that can 0-60 faster then just about any production vehicle ever made on planet earth. That's kinda cool. And I bet there are more 9 second Buicks in the USA than there are Bugatti.

And one more thing to think about.......It didn't cost 2.2 million dollars to get there. Although, I may be getting close to that dollar amount.

I have been told that I am full of shit about the 0-60 time more than once...

2.2 Million....Thats what my wife thinks I have spent on it !!!! LOL

Well.......something like that. What's the difference anyway. Might as well be a billion.

Yes. Based on ET vs MPH on bikes, it's all happening way after the launch. A 10 second bike running the quarter at 137 MPH just shows it's a completely different ball game.

That is because the 9 second bike is shifting at 11,000 RPM, eating up the pavement much quicker than the Buick that is only shifting at 6000-RPM, so even though the Buick has a quicker sixty foot, it has less of an acceleration rate going down the track. Like Brett was pointing out too, the bike weighs so much less, and the horsepower is a fraction of the Buick's running the same ET, so the calculation might throw you comparing it to a 3000 pound car.

Go here, just about every auto related calculator you could want is here. If you scroll down the left side
there is a MPH at the 60 foot clock calculator.

How about some 70-130mph times?

I'm not sure about that one. But from what I heard from Brett, you may be able to help us out with this info!
