That's closer to what most people racing in a straight line want to measure as opposed to who can hook faster: hence drag racing using a two stage starting position
No metric will every reflect racing from a dig on a public street between the random surfaces, heat soak (it takes one or two pulls for most cars to start pulling timing stock), tires, etc... and I don't think any publication is really interested in satisfying that comparison.
- NikolaNovak 3y agoI don't disagree. To your and authors point I have no interest in wrecking my daily driver transmission. I was just amused at the author spending 3 paragraphs explaining confounding factors that affect from-0 performance, and then offered the canonical from-0 situation, a red light, as suitable for 5-60 metric :-). Anyhoo. Good read nonetheless :-)
