Hey Foamy.You know the original definition of a supercar is a car that can go 0-60 in under 4 seconds, not far off a superwagon
I know it will do it on the track because there is still some reserve power in first to use but as it is to get that time on the street its a 150% focus to get the best launch without spin and not duff the first gear shift point. It all just happens so quickly.
I thought about pulling some weight out just to nail it one time but to be honest I think I'll just lose it back in traction. Also the only easy weight I could pull is over the back end.
Still its fun sticking it to the XR6 turbo / F6 platoon.

Yeah stocky, my car should do it easy once I get these bits bolted on, traction permiting (that's the key
)

Sure your car should do it right now if you can get traction and drive (both at once)
not as easy as you think tho, Ive seen plenty of big HP tanks go up in lines of smoke and run 6s I've also taken down a R8 at the drags and I can't say I didn't love that

Can i be in?
Got a L67 VY S pack. Only performance mod is a custom CAI atm, only running 15" wheels too.
Temperature 8 degrees celcius with water on the road (may have had a bit of wheel slipping).
Figures:
0-25 kmph: 1.13 Seconds
0-50 kmph: 2.54 Seconds
0-100 kmph: 6.53 Seconds
0-150 kmph: 12.77 Seconds
It wasn't totally flat, had a little bit of a hill too, so can only slow those times down a bit not increase.
Plan is to focus on the range between 50-100kmph!

LOL, i'll still aim for it, i reckon it's very doable. Theres so much untapped potential from the L67's!
All i need to shave off is at least 1.63 seconds. Which i reckon the main of that is after it hits 80km/hr and changes gears [Auto ATM]. The gears are bad ratios for speed solutions after 80km/hr. Theres 4 seconds between 50 to 100km/hr. Except i'm not going so much the cheap mods atm, but cheap mods could theoretically do it.
