WTF? How does this work? 5-60 times higher than 0-60?

Reading C&D, and noticed that for the Viper SRT test, they got 4.6 for the 5-60 test, while the 0-60 comes in 3.9, how does that work?? 😕

I guess it just runs better from a standing start. Perhaps theres more torque available at that point of the powerband or something. *shrugs*

That is the exact reason.

0-60 = High RPM clutch drop, lots of power available
5-60 = Clutch fully engaged in 1st gear, floor the gas from very low RPM's

Viper GTS

Did MiataGirl admit to being a guy somewhere? Great joke either way though. 😀 ViperGTS hit the explanation on the head, btw. I wouldn't think it would cause that much of a difference in a Viper, but I know it makes a huge difference in my "torqueless wonder" Prizm. 😉
 
so I guess they're not allowed to slip the clutch on the 5-60mph run?
and I would have thought a massive american 500hp engine would provide enough torque to spin the tires even at VERY low rpm. [or at least not lose .7sec]. I mean, it's not like a 4cylinder S2000 where you really need to 7000rpm before the engine responds. viper's powerband should start at like 2000rpm.
 
What's the point of a 5-60 test? YOu can't compare it against anyone else's test since no one else does them, and it has no real world application.


edit: NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take that you lifer.😉
 
urameatball, C&D's report actually said you need to hold on if you floor it from a roll in 3rd @ 1000RPMS, just gives you an idea at how low the torque curve seeps 😀

Yah, 5MPH is too slow, if there were a 20+ or a 25+ test, that'd be more indicative of real world street ra....er, driving 😀

5-60 takes out most of the traction issues...I think it would be a more representative test of a car's power. However if you have a Viper...you are gonna get tire spinning anyway 😀

 
they test 5-60 times because that's what is considered a "real world" launch where one doesn't launch at 3000+ RPM's... most ppl dont drive their cars like that...
