Frequently asked questions
- How accurate is this 0-60 estimate?
- This is an empirical heuristic based on power-to-weight ratio. Real 0-60 times also depend on traction, launch technique, gear ratios, and aerodynamics, so expect ±1–2 seconds variance.
- What power-to-weight ratio gives a 5-second 0-60?
- Roughly 8–10 lbs per horsepower. A 3,500 lb car needs about 350–440 HP to reach 5 seconds 0-60.
