2009 Mitsubishi Galant Sport 0-60 MPH

http://MPGomatic.com drops the hammer on a 2009 Mitsubishi Galant Sport for a 0-60 MPH acceleration test. The Galant Sport's 2.4-liter SOHC MIVEC inline four is mated to a four-speed automatic.

0-60 in ~11sec

[mpgomatic]

I've got it at roughly 9.5, looking at the time code in Final Cut.

At some point, I'll probably add a timer to the top of the videos.  Started experimenting with one a while back but could never get it to look right.

@mpgomatic

Look I'm sorry, I've watched a lot of your 0-60 vids...

What is the point in 0-60 testing these cars? They're all slow, they have ridiculously small and weak engines. I understand many consumers are interested in good mpg ratings... so why bother with 0-60?

At any rate, I've recieved quite an education on just how slow a lot of cars out on the road really are. Wow...

@MarineHawk117 - Life is not a drag race. These videos provide documentation and are part of our standard review process. Folks need to be able to make the merge in difficult circumstances. When someone is researching the purchase of a new vehicle, these videos demonstrate how the vehicle responds in WOT situations.

I am thankful to have grown up with the mighty V8, but small engines represent the future.

[MarineHawk117]

...Because the average eco-friendly consumer often does 0-60 in normal situations? Well, considering the slow acceleration, I guess on the outside you can't tell their flooring it.

I understand your point, but why not have 45-60 or 45-80 vids that show "how the vehicle responds in WOT situations"? Somehow, that acceleration documentation would be more useful in researching a car than a 0-60 launch, no? Small engines sure as hell aren't my future...

@MarineHawk117 - The need to merge onto a highway from a dead stop in traffic is a necessity for many folks.

0-60 MPH is a time-honored benchmark and the average consumer isn't eco-friendly. We hope to expand our scope of coverage, down the road, by adding a passing lane benchmark.

BTW, there are plenty of four-cylinder engines that will whoop your HEMI. But don't get me wrong, that engine rocks. The 300C's highway cylinder deactivation is very cool. And when you stomp on it ... =)

that's bs, I hit mine in roughly 7 to 7.5sec and trust me I tested it several times. I think you hit the gears or the accel wrong

[Dallaslynn100]

@teamhumor..... U realize you should keep ur mouth shut lol. Of course it's stock... Most cars are stock when tested 0-60 fyi. And it is actually slow. A lot of cars can go 0-60 a lot faster stock then this

[chickenstorm]

@chickenstorm

and i wouldnt even have to push over 5 RPM thats the funny part, fuck this stupid ass ricer car

[chickenstorm]

lmao i have a POS 97 grand am with a 3.1 V6 in it that costed me under $1000 that would fuckin destroy this crap ass car

[jtreign9097]

@mpgomatic my 95 galant had the 2.4 with 155hp about and was doing 0-60 in 10 seconds with the automatic.... with a partially bad fuel pump had to (beat the tank) with a hammer to get her going smooth on starts or when she would act up...man i hated that car

[TeamHumour]

2.4L is not small and srae slow because its stock.. if you dont know about cars keep your mouth shut.. @ marinehoe..

[shainwill]

noone made you watch it

My 2002 Galant LS i4 would blow this!

I own a stock 2009 galant sport V6 and I get a consistent 8.5 second 0-60 mph by turning off the traction control and changing the gears manually. By changing the gears manually you really get to maximize the use of first, second, and third gears which helps A LOT.

This video test was obviously done in manual and with the traction control on.
