Default 0-60 or 0-40?

all right i was talkin to my friend, who is a girl, and she didnt belive me that if u launch a fast enough AWD car like an evo or gsx, that you can get to 40mph in a second, or even 60mph. then she was like "Drag cars cant even 0-60 in under a second". Who is right here?

0-60 in a stock EVO is like high 4 seconds. I would guess mine would be like a lowish 4

Stock its going to be close, your 0-30 in a evo 8 is 1.7 seconds... thats normally a 60' time... or like a full 1st and a bit of 2nd, then your 0-60 is in 5.3 seconds, I am going to have to go with mike on this one, your looking bout 4 seconds give or take.

are you talkin about the fact that your speedo says 60 mph cause of tire spin? cause if thats so yea you can go 60mph in no time but as soon as you move like a foot youll be going like 20mph..is that what you mean?
