Why is my 0-60 time so bad when I test it? My car is supposed to record a 4.5 second 0-60 but even when I floor it I can only manage 5.3 or so, but when one of my friends tried he got a 4.7 on his first attempt. I drive a 2015 mustang gt
>>15390924
simple, no ecoboost
What transmission?
>>15390933
i have the automatic with launch assist
>>15390924
you are fat.
>>15390924
You suck at driving, pretty simple.
>>15390924
Use a prepped surface like a drag strip, otherwise you won't have enough traction to do a perfect launch
>>15390942
I only weigh 140 kilos, does my weight really have that much impact on performance?
>>15390924
0-60 time is pretty reliant on rear end gearing. If you have a steep gear, you'll take off way quicker.
>>15390952
140 kilos
1 kilo =2.2lbs
>Only
You are fat
>>15390939
>>15390952
Lol fat fucking faggot
>>15390952
Wow, no wonder cars like the corvette explode. It's because they have to haul these fat fucks around.
>>15390949
Those prepped surfaces work great for drag radials, but shithouse for regular street tyres.
>>15390924
Lessons that C&D and R&T times are quite optimistic.

Well there's your problems.

>being so fat that you add .8 seconds to your 0-60 time

Holy fuck, you weight exactly double as much as me.

Holy shit you're fucking fat.
In this thread we learn that the cheapest performance part is a pair of sneakers and jogging clothes
>>15391434
They have to be NewBalance sneakers though.
>>15390924
5.3 is pretty bad, i can do 5.1 in My 2011 v6 Mustang, you just need to get better at launching.
>>15390952

Oh shit, what are u doing
>>15390952
nigger you are fat. I weight 80 kilos. lose weight
>>15390924
Your wheel alignment is out
>>15390952
HHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Are you fucking serious? Dude removing the spare tire is noticeable and that is like 7kg. You have fucking 70kg extra on you. How do you even fit in a coupe? Oh that's right, it's a Mustang. Fat blob.
>>15390924
FATASS! 140?! Fat fuck.
>>15391183
I'm over a foot taller and weigh less then you and I'm a fat cunt.
Roll yourself down a hill and you'll get a faster 0-60
65 kg fag reporting in. I wonder how my recent 19 kg weight reduction affected driveability of my 780 kg car lol.
>ask about how to launch properly
>gets bullied for being fat
maybe if you sit in the back and use a pole you will get traction and launch quicker
>tread full of europoors
>americans are typically larger due to better diet
>mfw
>>15390952
You weigh almost triple what I do you fat fuck
>tfw skelemode
>>15390924
That is just pathetic, i have a slow ass 2v that takes off faster than that. Get some fucking tires
>>15392835
well that 2.2% weight reduction so it count
>>15390924
Guys, wait a second I have to get /fit/ in on this
Meanwhile a motorcycle can do an easy 3, even with OP bein fat
>>15392764
kek
No but seriously you don't just floor it and hold it there in an automatic, try learning how to manipulate when it shifts varying your throttle input. Just because you're not shifting the gears yourself doesn't mean you can pretend they don't exist. Managed to out race a BMW one time in an autotragic FJ Cruiser by knowing how to get the car to shift and not shift (also the driver reeked of mid life crisis). And unless you're at least 6' and muscular you could use some exercise.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for not being a bunch of SJW, fat acceptance faggots. I love all of you, even mr tubbs with the mustang.
>>15391183
>>im not fat i just had bad luck with my genes fuck you guys
>he says while eating a double cheeseburger
Start lifting, fatty.
>>15390952
Your car's kerb weight is 1599kg. Adding you to the equation makes the car 1665kg effectively lowering the power to weight ratio and making it slower. Also, you don't distribute the power very well and load 2 driver's side tires far more then the 2 on the passender side, worsening your handeling and grip.
Bottomline: Lose weight you fat fuck.
>>15390952
Yeah. You pretty fucking fat desu
>>15391183
This is just someone pretending to be OP right?
When R&T or C&D test a car they try different launch techniques and go with what works best. trac control on or off, reving up against the brakes, whatever. You need to do the same, try launching at different rpm & so on. A little wheel spin at launch isn't a bad thing. You can gain a tenth or two by dropping weight, too.

Nope, we use pounds for personal weight as well. We sort of switch between the two systems at random.

>Why is my 0-60 time so bad when I test it?
Why could there be differences?
Alignment matters a lot for starts.
The power band of your adaptive automatic transmission is different since it moved the shift points based upon your normal driving patterns.
Your friend used manual transmission versus your automatic.
Your friend used the manual gear shifting feature of his automatic transmission for an edge over your fully automatic driving.
Are his tires the same as yours? Are your tires worn down so that their tread pattern is different from when it was new?
Your body weight is 308 pounds with body height of 5'4" and your target should be 220 pounds by the end of this year. Less is not possible since losing weight doesn't decrease the number of fat cells but only makes them sort of empty Meanwhile, those empty fat cells release chemicals saying they are hungry which is what makes formerly fat people get fat again if anything gets them off track. The only cure then is to keep the weight off until those fat cells age enough to die off OR have apoptosis. At 220 you can begin the tougher fight to go to 180 which is still chubby but lower is even harder than dropping from 310 to 220.
You need to lose weight to improve your track speed times. Really. Look how those race car teams scream at getting a 15 pound penalty weight added. Your car has a 170 pound penalty weight aboard. If you gave the Ford GT a 170 pound penalty weight, even LaFerrari would beat it on the track. Consider that if Ford was given a 170 pound penalty after Watkins Glen, possibly even GM and Ferrari would tell the race officials that is a dishonorably large penalty to give to their competitor.
Remember, weight is the enemy of acceleration. All stupid cars carry 170 more pounds more comfortably. Smart cars don't. But cars don't accelerate as fast with 170 more pounds.

No way this is real
>>15390924
>Why is my 0-60 time so bad when I test it? My car is supposed to record a 4.5 second 0-60 but even when I floor it I can only manage 5.3
Your car is probably doing fine with the weight it is currently carrying. Remember that the unbalanced weight in the car's front half also changes the energy distribution in the differential's planetary gears of your RWD.
>>15390924
>but when one of my friends tried he got a 4.7 on his first attempt
Tell your friend to add enough weight to his front seat to make his weight approximately equal to yours. Then he can try track times again. If you can't borrow some gym weights, then buying a few 50 pound sacks of rice will suffice since you can at least eat it later. If you don't store rice bags on the floor, but in a nice sterile plastic bin, it keeps almost forever.

>>15391183
I'm 5'4 but I am "fat" when I hit 150lb.
I am currently 136 lb after working out, so that being said, 308 lb at 5'4 is Obese and you should really eat less.

TY, I'm on mobile or else I'd have done it.

Do this op. Pls record. Might do a fucking wheelstand with that much weight in the back.
>>15395482
Yeah because someone is gonna nonchalantly admit they "only" weigh 300 pounds.
Then after getting destroyed admit they're 5'4". Give me a break.

Stop memeing.
Whrn autotragic you just need to floor it, no need for anything else, ezcept for mayne a torque launch.
