so how do u do 0-60's on all these cars? do you say can i test drive ur car and then do one of these? how many cars do u have?!

@dnl5649 All of our test vehicles have been sourced directly from the manufacturers and their representatives.

why don't you turn off the TCS or DSC when you do these runs? They prove to be a giant nuissance and take 1 or 2 seconds off the real time.

I hear ya. I need an abandoned airstrip.

[bajabusta]

don't be sorry!! When you are driving a car that close to the pavement, you are bound to feel most of it!!

[mpgomatic]

Thanks, Baja! It's tough finding solid mounting points for the camera in the MINI cabin, on top of the stiffness of the ride and the wide spread between the tach and speedo. This is the third MINI I've shot and it was the toughest.

We'll be upgrading our in-car mounting rig once finances allow. If you look at the VW 0-60 run, it's quite steady and crisp ... it's all about how and where the camera's mounted. The goal is to get that quality for all the videos ...

6.3

That was a very slow take off ? change your driver

What kind of speeds can you get out of 2nd and 3rd gear in the Mini S? Just looking at the video seems like you're shifting to 3rd before 60mph but kind of hard to tell with the shakiness.

I have a 2010 JCW and love that i can get 65mph out of 2nd and about 95 in 3rd.

can you please post a 0-60 time at the end of each video? would make it so much better

[simersonic1]

@xenomann442 It varies. The Dodge Viper does it in 4.6 seconds, while the Smart for Two takes almost 15 seconds. These are extremes, so the average car I'm guessing is around 8 secs.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[junktoyota]

0-60: 7.7 sec

[coolerdude44]

@xenomann442 depends where you live, in europe the average is probably in the 10 second range. in the US, around 8.5 i'd say.

my 2004 mazda 6 3.0 does it in 6.7, my mom's altima 2.5s does it in about 9.
