Ok I have read this but can't remember where. Our 0-60 is in about 6.3 for the manual. One reason our cars are that slow to 60 is they shift at 55 which takes .5 seconds. So really we can stay with a car with a slightly faster 0-60 than us to about 55. Add the .5 seconds to shift and we get a slower 0-60 when others shift past 60. When they shift it takes the same .5 seconds then you are back even. i am not saying its ture or anything it may be just dumb but I wanted to see what you all thought of it???
