Other than that DC will have to reduce the wheel size, use an aluminum rear wing, lighter doors and remove the engine cover to make the car lighter and faster and get a 0-60 at 5 sec. just like the Lotus 190HP Elise. However, crash test will be negative but who really cares about crash test anyway when your car is faster than the rest?
This has got to be one of the funniest things i have read on here lately.
Taking off, I will be really generous, 200lbs, with smaller rolling stock will not knock of a second and a half 0-60. LOL Even doing that I don't think a 5.99 is possible, well maybe with a 30 degree decline and a 50 mph tailwind. Even having an exhaust aka fancy muffler, upsolute, and the almighty kandn's with that weight reduction you would get nowhere near 5 flat. For example, look at the srt-6 it barely does it under 5 second's. And that car has about a 125 whp more than our cars do. Just not possible.
That would be like me saying knock my wheels down to 16's removed the air intake assembly for something lighter, lighten my doors, LOL, and carbon fiber trunk and hood, and bam! My srt-4 went to a ferreri killer to a 0-60 at 3.8 seconds.
Every 100 lbs of dead weight is about a tenth of a second.
