yes but then magazines have ALSO gotten mitsu evos to hit 60 in 4.5 secs or so.

doing that 5+ times will rape your clutch.

so in a way, i find the magazine's 0-60 numbers to be quite pointless.

e.g., i'm sure my dad's porsche CAN do 60 in about 4.9 - 5.0 secs. but like the evo (since he's got the C4S) do it more than a few times and the clutch is FINISHED.

i think a good rule of thumb is that you always need to add at LEAST 0.5 secs to a magazine's 0-60 rating EVEN if you're a good driver and launch a car PRETTY hard without destroying it.

thoughts?
