What's a respectable 0-60 time /o/?
What does your car do?
No matter how much or little you think it matters, it doesn't matter as much as you think it does. To me anything is sufficient as long as I don't have to utterly mash the pedal just accelerate with traffic.
>>14428611
anything below 10 seconds is fine.
<7 is quick
<5 is fast
I'm striving to buy cars below 6 seconds these days.
I found that to be adequate to put me in the back of my seat.
There is no respectable anything to bench racers. They will always post some anecdotal "evidence" to "prove" otherwise.
Only tested 0-60 in my truck once, recently. 9.09. Not very good, I agree. But it was my first time and I've got All-Terrain tires which don't help. Fast shifting is not so easy with a long shifter like I've got.
Was fun either way.
Audi TT 3.2 litre V6, DSG, 2003, 6.2 seconds is my quickest one.
>>14428489
7.7 to 8.5 for my hatch. I'm okay with this.
More specifically /o/, would you drop another $20,000 on a Tesla Model S 90D to make it a P90D and change the 0-60 time from 4.2 seconds to 3.1 seconds?
And then another $10,000 to make it 2.8 seconds?
>>14428672
Also you will -lose- 6% range adding the P to the badge.
>>14428619
But that's why it does matter. it's a safety thing when merging into traffic. Obv. the bench racing hsit doesn't matter
>hurrr 5.1 vs 5.2 so my car is clearly better!!!!
>>14428611
Sub 7 seconds is reasonable.
4.6-5.5 seconds is quick
4-4.5 seconds is fast
3.9 and below is stupid fast
>>14428611
Who gives a fucking fuck? 60-100mph times are way the fuck more impressive. 0-60 times are for faggots in slow Honda's with short gearing.
>>14428653
You must get to the Salon hella fast.
>>14428672
No. Don't they just change the restriction on the power delivery? That's something you can do for way less. Also, LOL tesla. Enjoy your overpriced car that has to be charged and cost almost as much as gas per mile.
11.7s
>>14428687
If a car is legal to buy, it's assumed that it's fit for the road network, and if regular production cars don't have enough acceleration space for merging, clearly something has gone horribly wrong with your local road planning. I drive a 90 hp diesel and even I have never had issues merging onto the Autobahn because the right lane is used mostly by slow trucks and anyone else will merge to clear the right lane for you when possible.
>>14428611
Anything above 10 seconds is dangerously slow.
8-10 seconds is just slow
7-8 seconds is slow but acceptable
6-7 seconds is reasonably quick, this is where fun cars start
5-6 seconds is starting to get quick
4-5 seconds is just straight up quick, you can walk past the majority of cars on the road and use optimum gaps
Anything less than 4 seconds is very fast car territory and will generally result in actual slower launches in most cases due to worry about death and/or worry about the drivetrain not being able to deal.
2.5 seconds or less is when things get painful.
>>14428700
>Enjoy your overpriced car that has to be charged and cost almost as much as gas per mile.
Maybe in the two or three countries in the world where electricity is as horridly overpriced as fuel is. Only Denmark and Germany come to mind.
>>14428672
>0-60 in 2.8 seconds
>runs out of juice before the end of the 1/4 mile
>250cc engine
>0-60 in 4.5s
Funsies
>>14428709
>having anything less than a 323
>>14428611
Anything above 5s is not worth talking about.
In the sense that the acceleration is not impressive, the car may well have other positive aspects.
My 0-60 is 3.3s but it's a bike so nothing special really.
>>14428713
Forgot the other part of the question
My car (TT soarer) does right around 6 seconds right now, this time next month after i've finished sorting it all out i'll be down at 5 or even a little less depending on tyres.
>>14428611
>First ever car was 2001 Mercury Cougar, 0-60 was 7.7s, thought it was the shit
>Totaled it, got a 1999 Blazer, 0-60 in like 11s, felt slow as fuck.
>Next car was 2003 Ford Escape hand-me-down, 0-60 in like 9s, felt peppy but slow.
>Got a decent internship, bought 2014 Camaro (V6). 0-60 in like 6 seconds. Felt pretty damn quick, but then I realized it was camry-tier and lusted after moar power
>Current vehicle '15 Challenger RT, 0-60 in 5.0s regularly, best is 4.8, feels pretty exciting but now I want something <4.0s
You will just want something faster and faster, OP.
>>14428611
I've never timed mine as I might fall asleep before i hit 60.
>>14428723
>redlining at 60
>still less top end than a shitbox
nope.
I love these threads.
Just when i think my shitbox is too slow I'm reminded it's faster than like 95% of /o/s shitboxes.
>>14428771
What's funny is my next car is going to be even slower to 60 as I want an SUV.
rusty shitbox honda, 0-60 in 6.2
>>14428710
This is stupid. Acceleration isn't a mandatory thing on cars. And cars going slow are the cause of most accidents. No one cares about your personal feelings.
>all roads have been built in the last 10 years
idiot.

>LeSabre 8s

>>14428718
LOL okay faggot.
a 28 mpg car
>e85 is $.98 right now
That's about $7 to go 200 miles
>$1.50 for gas
That's about $10.71 to go 200 miles
The Tesla
Average KW/H (some higher some lower) in the US is $.12. That means 200 miles in a Tesla would take $7.92 to go 200 miles. BUT THEN you have to sit and charge that piece of shit for hours to get home. Also batteries will not hold the same charge over the years. So in 8 years it will be about 60% range.
Tesla is a scam. It also cost $100k+
>>14428758
Get a legacy GT
>>14428871
Nah, I'm tired of laying on the ground and the GT's around here are usually beat to shit or way over priced.
>>14428867
And don't forget that's if you only drive it in the "sweet spot." Get on it at all and that price goes WAY up per mile.
>>14428630
I don't think it's that big of a deal on a truck, nobody expects them to be that fast. For me its more about comfort and muh practicality
>>14428867
The supercharger network is free you dumb fuck, so you're looking at $0.00 for 200 miles assuming you start at one.
>>14428700
>thinks people who can afford Teslas give a shit about mpg
>>14428893
>supercharge network
The "network" that doesn't really exist? Are we all supposed to leave our cars sitting in parking lots over night to charge them? Or sit in parking lots for hours and hours to charge them? Okay then.
>grasping at straws
>implying they will keep them free forever
>implying they won't charge out the ass in the future once the stations get fucked up and abused and they cost money
>implying they will ever roll it out nation wide
>implying it's practical at all
keep trying Tesla fags, you got conned. Buy a diesel car and save tons of money.
0-100 km/h in 10.3 s :^)
6 or lower if you want a fun car
anything over six is painful even on public roads.
turbo systems are so efficient and easy to build with all the information of the internet these days. any shitbox can be a 6 second 0-60 car even with stock gearing.
or if you feel like being a purist n/a autismo you can still get 6 seconds out of a shitbox.
>>14428911
You mean that network that exists right now in multiple countries all around the planet and which takes less than an hour to charge a model s to give a decent range?
You're a fucking dumb cunt, huh. I don't own a tesla and i probably never will, i'm only here because i saw some moron spout bullshit about electric cars costing the same or more as a fucking E85 powered one.
Even with my pathetic australian power prices this is utter bullshit, let alone if the person who's dropping $100k on a car can god forbid afford to spend $2k on solar panels
>>14428626
Holy crap is it 1989 where you live?
>>14428967
No, he just lives in Europe.
>>14428611
General rule for me is,
10+ is piss poor slow.
8-10 is reasonable, none car person quick.
6-8 is quick.
4-5 is fast.
3-4 is crazy fast.
sub 3 is fuck me fast.
For me anything 7.9 and bellow, is a decent car in terms of speed. at that point you're probably faster then 70/80% of cars on the road.
>Anything above 3 seconds is slow
>My 9 second shitbox is quick
Jesus christ. Here's a reasonable rating system
8+ slow
7-8: below average
6-7: average
5-6: quick
4-5: fast
3-4: fuckin' fast
2-3: "I paid 300k+ for this car and never hit the gas because I'm too afraid of something breaking"
>>14429071
Actually lower 300k to 150k
>>14428890
Of course. If you're buying a truck just for racing, you're bonkers. But I think most on /o/ would agree that quicker is better. But I'm satisfied with its speed. V6 in a small truck with 4.10 rear makes for quick 0-30; it's fun.
Anything faster than a 4g Eclipse is good, anything slower than a 4g Eclipse is dog-tier shit as a 4g Eclipse is the epitome of dog-tier shit.
I always considered anything below 7 seconds to be quick.
>>14429090
200k for style
>>14428611
7.9s Stock
4.6s now
>>14429116
4g eclipse is such shit that there are cars better than it that are still shit. 0-60 in 6 flat is barely acceptable from a sports car now.
>>14428978
Same difference.
Anything under 7 seconds is decent
>>14429156
>260 hp
>pigfat
>fwd
How is that even possible?
>>14428911
A supercharger charges your car in 30 mins.
0-60 in 6.6 seconds in my car.
Not bad for a nearly 3,900lb fwd land-ship.
>>14429227
You replying to the stats I posted?
0-60: 5.9s
1/4m: 14.2s @ 100.9mph
http://www.motortrend.com/news/2006-mitsubishi-eclipse-gt-3/
>>14429231
If you love destroying your batteries 3x faster, then sure.
>>14429052
I drove a 2014 chrysler town and country that did 7.7 seconds 0-60
>I've only ever owned 25+ year old cars
>mfw I also rented a 2014 malibu with a 4 cylinder and thought it was fast
>I'm 22
>I think anything below 10 seconds is fast
I feel like I grew up in a time that never existed and I'm so used to all this old tech that I'm just flabbergasted by the amount of power and torque these car makers are packing into such tiny engines today.
Times are a changin I guess.
>>14428626
For consumer cars, basically this. Add in anything under 12 is good for a truck or SUV. Any slower and you're becoming a safety hazard. Anyone who says a 10 second 0-60 isn't perfectly fine for a DD is an underage boyracer.
>>14429290
I feel displaced in time, rather. I feel like 350 horsepower is alot, then I look at all these engines half the size of the one in my galaxie producing 400-500HP.
>>14428611
before i tuned it it was probably around 6.5 seconds
now its just tire smoke and torque steer
>>14428867
add about 20% to your estimates. a 28mpg car on gas/e10 will only get 24ish on e85.
>>14428867
> implying e85 gets anywhere near the gas mileage actual gas does
> Not understanding that the tesla was envisioned when gas was almost four bucks a gallon
> implying gas is going to stay this cheap for long
