What Is The Fastest 0-60 Time Possible?

What is the fastest 0-60 time?

What is the fastest 0-60 time possible for a street car? The logic of this video is as follows: The fastest a car can hit 60 is a matter of how fast the car can accelerate. A car's acceleration is limited by tire traction, when there is enough horsepower. To determine the maximum acceleration force, we can look at a vehicles maximum deceleration, based on which car can stop the fastest. It turns out a 2014 Corvette Convertible can stop in just 90 feet, so we can use this information to determine just how fast a traction limited AWD street vehicle can hit 60 mph.

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!

Let's see...

Inches to a foot - 12
Feet to a yard - 3
Yards to a mile - 1760
Ounces to a pound - 16

Let's have a look at the metric system.

Millimeter to a meter - 1000
Meters to a kilometer - 1000
Grams to a kilogram - 1000
Kilograms to a ton - 1000

lolwut?

Then we have fahrenheit

Water boils - 212 degrees
Water freezes - 32 degrees

Celcius

Water boils - 100 degrees
Water freezes - 0 degrees

Why America, whyyy?

Sincerely, The rest of the world

LOL @ "You got yourself into that trap."

Excellent video as usual

[gpcaraudio]

he never took vtech kicking on in consideration on any of these tests

[dimmacommunication]

A scientific calculation made with imperial units makes my eyes bleed

[PolarArctica]

"You guys like math right?" Lmao.

[Wanderlauch]

feet per second?
what kind of sorcery is this?!

[wesleyronne]

this all wrong you need vtec the skinniest tires you can find and a short throw dipstick

[dzee]

I'm a former engineer, and tripped over these videos only a few weeks ago. This guy really has a great presentation style. Quick, to the point, a bit of wit, but with enough "show your work" so that someone with basic algebra skills isn't left behind. Very well done. I also like the clever use of ABS-assisted braking distances as a theoretical limit on acceleration, avoiding all the weight transfer to drive/braking wheels and friction calculations.

[niklaspilot]

Good thing Americans use the same time-units as the rest of the world... xD

What kind of professional blackboarder doesn't have his marker ready SMH

Aside from having some sticky tires, I'm sure a top fuel dragster being ~7000hp / tq helps a lot too. Some slo-mo vids of them taking off area neat to watch as well, you can see the tire completely deform from the torque the engine is putting out vs how sticky they really are.

:05 I wasn't ready for that sexyness

[Kysen]

What the hell is 90 feet? Goat, cow or giraffe feet?

[LMacNeill]

So as tire technology improves, you can see this limit drop. Imagine if you'd done this calculation 25 years ago. Tire technology has improved *greatly* since then. Even since 10 years ago, it's improved quite a bit. Imagine what we'll have 10 years from now.

Very interesting video -- definitely food for thought. Thanks for posting it!

[LReBe]

WHY, WHY would you even prefer imperial units? Do you love arithmetic and errors?

[MisterMbkNitro]

You're such an awesome guy, I'm subbed since the beginning and love the heart you put into every video you make. Thank you for helping me and thousands others understanding how cars work <3

[tallahassee]

I've been watching your videos for a while, but you definitely hit it out of the park with this one, explaining such a complicated concept in an understandable way. thanks so much!

[OlaJustin]

Doesn't many fast cars have wider rear tires than front tires? If so their grip in acceleration would be greater than in deacceleration. Or am I thinking wrong here?

[DrummerBoii]

The Chiron street tyres are probably not like normal street tyres.. They're said to be around 25, 000$ a set..

[Homogenisierer]

Metric units still rules and are easier to understand.
