Do you think in the coming generations the mustang gt will be able to do 0-60 in the 3 second range?

0-60 was used to accelerate from a stop at a merge to highway speeds, which in the 1960s was 60mph for the most part.

Actually it started being used as a performance measurement before that, but started as 0 to 50 in the late 30s and early 40s. You are right in that it was more meaningful when the interstate highway system was established. I recall merging into traffic when I94 was first opened, after driving on old Highway 41 for many years. What a difference!

They could do it now with some more rubber on the back but mustangs are still fairly economical cars that most people won’t be putting 375 tires on. Now If they build a hybrid mustang it will have the weight and grip to hit 3 seconds.

I think it would have to be AWD and weigh less than 3800 lbs. The M3 Competition XDrive can do it. Why not the 'Stang?

Edit: just for reference, the M3 Competition XDrive is AWD and weighs 3900 lbs with 503 HP.

I had a charger 392 Daytona that would do a 3.8 0-60, only mod was 305/30r20's, not even drag radials.

Yeah, that's quick, but I was talking more about doing 0-60 in 3 flat. (ok, a 3.2 is also acceptable).
