Stock '05/06 mustang 0-60mph/(0-100km/h)

[matty]

Just a quick question, what does Ford rate the 0-60mph (or 0-100km/h) time at, and is it accurate? I've run across articles saying that a bone stock mustang can do 0-60mph in 4.9 sec (which seems pretty low) but other articles/websites saying that 0-60mph is 5.3 or 5.4 seconds. Just kinda curious.

Thanks,

Matt

P.S. (Does anyone know how much adding 20" rims - assuming an average weight would add to the 0-60?)

The test I saw was 5.1 IIRC with the quarter in 13.8

The weight of the wheels won't affect the time to any significant degree so much as maintaining the same rolling radius. A 275/35 is about the same radius as the stock 17's.

I also think it depends on Auto or Manual

Ahh I see, so the 5.1 I take it that was for a Stick?

I'm not sure, I think the Manual would be quicker. IIRC somewhere on here it is mentioned the Auto has 3:31 gears while the Manual has 3:55's.

the ford commercial uses the motor trend figure of 4.9.

Its funny how a 4 second 0-60 compared to a 5 second 0-60 is a noticable difference for only a second or less.

yea, it takes a lot of HP to cut off a second

but it is a LONG second if you are the slower car...

 

[V8JamesGT]

its about 5 seconds

I took my 05' to the drag stip right after I bought it and I thought I had all the info in my profile but the 0-60 time isn't there. You can check out 1/8 and 1/4 mile times if you want (they are in my profile). Maybe you can estimate 0-60 using those numbers? Regardless, I kept my time slips so I'll check them when I get home. I am however out of town so it'll be next week before I can post it. I'm not sure it's on the time slip, but I'll look. I didn't powershift on that run. I don't know if it makes a difference in 0-60 or not.

Sorry, it turns out they don't record 0-60 on the time slips.

1/10 of second...

The funny thing is that a 1/10th of a second or even a few 1/10th's of a second can be effected by driver reaction time, weather conditions, or even the specific car being tested. My bet is that 4.9 is possible if they're claiming it. These guys test cars so uch they must have it down to a science.
