My guess for 0-60 is slower than light but faster than me.

Is that there apple pie I smell?0-60 in 3.14159265359 seconds
Knew someone would take the bait.:cheers:Is that there apple pie I smell?
Come here and I'll give you a pie to the face!:clap2:0-60 in 3.14159265359 seconds
I'll take a stab/guess.... I hope I'm wrong and it's a bit quicker.
0-60 mph = 3.9 secs
1/4 mile in 11.9 secs
I'm probably going to crap at some point, regardless.ATS-V is 464/445 at @3760lbs
0-60 4.0
1/4 12.2
The ATS-V has a broader tq curve, for sure but there's potential for the GT350 to surprise. Wouldn't you crap if it ended up something like 3.7 and 11.7??
Those could be R times.1/4 mile 11.7 sec.
0-60 3.6
top speed 186mph.
my guess, we need a pool![]()
I think the GT350 engine and chassis could be capable of faster than 4.0, but the current gearing is not set up for fast 0-60. Right now first tops out in the 50s mph, which means you aren't getting the benefit of no shifts between 0 and 60, and you also aren't getting as much torque multiplication off the line as you could have with steeper gears. I get it; the car is set up for the road course, not for 0-60 times.ATS-V is 464/445 at @3760lbs

A lower gear ratio to allow the car to get to 60 in first would actually mean a little less torque off the line.I think the GT350 engine and chassis could be capable of faster than 4.0, but the current gearing is not set up for fast 0-60.

With gear and a tire, you could make the car super fast 0-60. You might not even need a tire. Changing the gearing might slow the car down on some road courses, though (more shifting).
thats what I am getting and would be very happy with those numbersThose could be R times.
Since he said it would mean more shifting on the road course, he's talking about a shorter ratio, which would mean more torque multiplication.A lower gear ratio to allow the car to get to 60 in first would actually mean a little less torque off the line.
