Tango Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 0-60 in 0.9 seconds... i doubt road tyres will do that! Looks a tad ambitious Dunno about the tyres, it'll also need a special kind of surface to do that on. It is possible for a formula 1 car to go from 0-60 in 0.9 secs but that amount of power just creates wheelspin, the cars just cant get the traction for that kind of acceleration. Usually takes between 1.9 to 2.5 secs, depending on car setup, track surface, heat ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I doubt a f1 car could do that very few full blown drag cars can achieve that and I've seen road legal drag cars dust f1 cars at the drag strip Mind you judging by the weekend I reckon my evo would stand a decent chance against Mark Webber:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I think their claims are more a PR stunt for corporate awareness... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
