thanks guys......im having my 4.10s in next week.
we'll see how she wakes up.
well gears will help, but whats you goal?
0-60mph, is such a vague an inaccurate measure of a cars performance. Granted with the stop light culture in the US you probably see more of it. But 30-70mph thru the gears will normally give a better example of how quick a car is on the road.
Or if it must be from a standing start 0-100mph shows the bigger picture as power and to an extent aerodynamics play a larger tole as opposed to gearing.
Example:
New C6 Z06 is rated at 3.7 seconds 0-60mph. Yet it takes nearly 4 seconds to do 0-62mph.
Why? Has it stops accelarating as quickly?
Well yes, in a way it has. It can do 0-60mph in 1st, yet a shift to 2nd is required to get to 62mph (100kph).
0-100mph
Stock Mustang should clock 0-60mph in about 5.5 seconds. Which is pretty good.
A stock TVR 4.2 Cerbera should do it in about 4.3-4.5 seconds.
So one could assume they are pretty close in performance wise.
However the Mustang will take some 14.xx seconds to get to 100mph where as the TVR will do it in 9.1 seconds.
suddenly the gap seems a LOT BIGGER.
