0 - 60 is a good metric as long as all variables are eleminated. The 911 takes 10.8 seconds to go from 90 to 130 on the back straight at VIR and and it takes 9 seconds at Summit Point to gain the same 40mph. One straight is uphill and one straight is downhill and the weather was different. I just pulled two examples out of the data, both involved multiple shifts (3-4, 4-5), what if I had not wasted the time shifting to fifth. My goals are not the same as a magazine tester. The time certainly would have been faster; but, the goal was to achieve the fastest time between turn x and the next turn and to make my car last as long as possible.
