Most cars are pretty sluggish off the line due to driver error - or driver WGAS.  I have been able to get around everything I've needed to so far even on my Burger.  The will is more important than anything else, on the street.

If some twit is actually trying to race - revving and all - let them go and putter sedately on.  Cop bait!

Best 0-60 time I've read in any test report on a stock GS500E was 4.6 seconds. Best quarter mile time on a stock GS500E was an "adjusted" (I don't understand that) 13.2 (originally 13.6). Hope this helps. Love, Wilson

Adjusted meaning that it factors in the current weather conditions. Example I usually race at a track with an elevation of 2700 and then with the hot summer conditions and/ or humid weather can shoot your overall DA (Density Altitude) to over 5000 feet from sea level. I've seen an improvement of almost a second from this track to another one nearer sea level or with better DA.

This is just my understanding and hopefully I'm not dishing out false information.

4.6 seconds to 60 is better than a lot of sports cars. It just goes to show how importaint power to weight is.  8)
