0-60 Times

[Bullitt0819]

Ive got an 18 GT PP1 and I eeked out a 4.8 yesterday. I've only been driving stick since September so its not pretty, but slipping the clutch from 2500RPM and pinning it after she rolls forward was working best for me.
I think if it was warmer here I could get 4.7 maybe 4.6 If I really beat on it. It was only 55 degrees here yesterday on my way home.

Actually, cooler air = more power--for a naturally aspirated engine--for a given atmospheric pressure. Yes, cooler air is denser, but any increased drag is probably immeasurable. This gets driven into pilots as 'density altitude;' e.g. on a warmer than standard (59degF) day an airplane at sea level will perform like it was at a higher altitude: less engine power, less lift, less thrust from the prop (or turbine), longer runway required for takeoff, less climb rate to clear obstacles, etc. Yeah, a baseball will travel farther on a warm day but, the loss of power from less dense air is of more consequence to an airplane (or car).

Yes, colder air = more dense air = more power. I'm more or less talking about having a better 0-60 with properly heated tires (not trying to use line lock beforehand). These P-zeros take to heat really well until a point and then they lose all grip when overheated. Think i'm gonna get Nitto Invos next with those RTR Tech 7 wheels. they look killer. You were a pilot IIRC right? mentioned in another thread.

To get the best 0-60 times, you'd have to rev to 3-4k RPM, dump the clutch and pin the throttle. That's a bit hard on things, mechanically, so I haven't done it.

Might do it some day if I can find an empty piece of private pavement to try it on. The local constabulary are a bit ornery.

Yeah. 'Dormant' pilot (Commercial Single-Engine Land with Instrument Rating); I entertain thoughts of getting back in the cockpit someday. Family matters supersede that desire, for now.

Good point about the tires. I just want to get under 5s--at 5.2 now--just to say I did it.

Id suggest a lower RPM and more slip to get it going, then when shes moved about ten feet just pin it down. I've had better results doing that, higher RPM i just spin like crazy.

Just keep improving guys. It’s not all about numbers!

Has anyone tried a 0-60 run with stock 18" 235's just to find out how much slower it is?

You can get traction with those?

The 0-60MPH with the 235s is about tree-fiddy for new tires.

99% stock 2019 GT PP1 manual transmission. So far best is 4.8 but I know I can do better. LC works by design (I hope!) but makes me feel like something's gonna break. I also feel like I can do better slipping the clutch a little.

 

[NoVaGT]

Oh...ok...wait a minute! You're that god damn Loch Ness Monster! I ain't given you no tree-fiddy.

 

[onlyturbo]

I do about 2k and I don't dump the clutch, best I got was 4.6

This sounds about the best anyone can do, great job!

I use a draggy to get a more accurate 0-60 ...My best 0-60 3.43..2018 A10 N/A

I mean, technically a Hellion kit is "bolt-on", so you gotta give me more details than that. That's half a second faster than the factory spec, and that is probably made on a prepped track. Also, country roads, take me home, to the place I belong...

Yes. Details on your mods. Please.

Lol honestly this was done on a back road no prep ..
Lund tune
17”Drag pack Mickey Thompson R radials
BMR rear suspension 3.73 gear
Circle D N/A converter

I believe it can get it lower around 3.2 to 3.3
