There is a incoherence issue here.

100% Right.

im in the process of doing it myself but - does 40-70mph equate to around 70km/h-110km/h?

[whiteballz]

Yeah, 70 to 112 or something? too close to matter, so just go for 70-110kays.

Yeah, that's close enough. It doesn't have to be exact... it's just for fun!

I plan to do two separate vids of 0-60 mph. One with wheelspin and one without. I know it will have a lot of wheelspin using full throttle from a dead stop, so I may as well do one that way.

No,I used a small footstool on the curb. I should buy a tripod someday.

Here is a 0-60 mph run I did today. I tried to do it with no wheelspin, but there was a little anyway. I came off the line without using full-throttle, then used it. I guess I opened it up too soon! I also think at about 37 mph, I backed off the throttle just a bit because the intake roar stops for about a half-second.

0-60 mph looks like about 8.8 seconds, so maybe 8.5 with no wheelspin. It will be interesting to see what it does if I can find some limo gears (limos used a 3.21:1 rear axle and mine has 2.94:1).

It looks like about 9 to me. The wheelspin slowed the time some. That's why I was trying to come off the line with maximum traction. Maybe next time.
