that will not be a good representation of it because that would be considered a 5-60 roll on aceleration.
0-60 mph time is not a true indication of the cars true speed potential. 0-60 is more about traction than true hp. There are a ton of cars out there that will rape a faster 0-60mph car in the 1/4 mile, and will put bus lengths on them in a highway roll on race.
IMO.....does not look or sound like a roll to me....
Just appears the guy didn't pop/slip or launch the car hard....
2 to 3k for a clutch keeps me from doing the same.....
Comptech states 4.8 - 4.9 depending on MODS....
Gtech pro avg lo was 4.6 and high was 5.1 when I tested it....(18/19 wheels) with a killer system(40pds)
Have not tried since adding headers, weight reduction and light flywheel....
Most people in the race world say 0 - 60 doesn't matter. It does acct for something and will be a standard used for a long time to come....
Personally I look at the 5 - 60 , 60 - 80, 0 -100 and 0 - 100 -0 ......
after all the max speed limit in most places is 70.....Might as well have fun getting to 60.............................On the Street That is..........

Doesn't look like a roll-on to me. His speedometer doesn't budge until he slips the clutch (ignore the reving that precedes his actual launch (albeit a gentle launch in this case:tongue

Wow! And I saw on Youtube that is a 5 speed. Was that on high boost?? Makes me wonder, how do you control a 6 speed with a CTSC -- I would think you would hit redline in 1st (and 2nd?) so quickly it would be tough to control under WOT, no??
That is my nsx in the video before the 02 conversion.
It was from a dead stop, slipping the clutch at low rpm. In actual 0~60mph tests, the time counting device will not start until car makes forward movement.
From point that speedometer started to move, 0~60mph is 3.8~4sec. At drag strip the clock doesn't start while the guy is revving and preparing for launch at a deadstop. I could easily trim another .3~.5sec if I didn't care about my clutch. It will do well under sub 10 sec for 0~100mph with a easy launch.
This is why I don't like the power on my 335i daily beater. It is quick and effortless off the line and can probably give anything a run for its money off the line, but after 40mph, it is so slow. Time for some mods.

Very impressive!! Love your NSX by the way. Gorgeous.
Mind if I PM you some questions on going FI?
Thanks, I do not mind at all, it would be my pleasure answering questions.
A Linear tq curve under 300 is very controllable---IMO---short gears, 6 speed etc.....You will hit 60 in second gear. all in all more shifing after 60...........for sure (revs faster)
