Reaction time doesn't actually make a difference. The way they test the zero to 60 times is literally designed to eliminate reaction time differences and even bad launches, etc, etc.
0-60 time (no mods allowed)
- Thread starter stung cb
- Start date
You are soooooo right. I just thought I'd ask the question. It is a GT= Grand Touring/Grand Tourismo vehicle. It was not designed for the drag strip nor the race track. Grand Touring =" Designed for high speed long-distance driving due to a combination of performance and luxury attributes".
Go on....explain "The way they test zero to 60 times" I'm interested.

True, but what I see all over the internet, it 4.6secs for the RWD and 4.9secs for the AWD models.
This is only an average and your car might actually be faster...who knows?

It’s like fighting with a old man on a porch. Reaction time is a zero factor for any measured 0-60 as the timer is initiated by the initial inertia of the Vehicle until it attains a speed of 60 mph. If you don’t understand that from the get go then you’re really at a disadvantage here with respect to performance discussions.
The mustang is a gt car as well....the cars were built with the intention of performing in all different segments. Launch control was put in place to assist in launching the car so in fact the builders did want to assist owners in measures performance.
it’s clear you don’t approve of modifying vehicles, which folks have done on damn near every car ever created.

Also...because I’m bored....
0-60 is a result of so many variables. Elevation, temp, surface, fuel quality, engine condition, trans condition, each of the above and countless more can impact timed/ measured runs.
Likely the early cars provided to the media by Kia had a few extra tweaks as many preproduction test cars will have and numbers can be bit hotter than what the production cars run.
Low 4s to mid 5s have been seen by media folks and owners. Modifying “what you’ve got” is very much the norm and has been since day one.
Modifying cars is not different than bodybuilding, marathon, or CrossFit training....taking something avg....making it more than it was.

So... who is moving the car to start the timer?? You're not making sense.
Thanks for your short straight answer and not a bunch of I know all about everything like some other people on this forum.

From what I just read on Wikipedia (good article by the way) 0-60 times are pretty much in the eye of beholder.
Being that KIA claims 0-60 in 4.7 seconds I would tend to think that is a conservative time based on possible legal challenges.
What? Legal challenges lol? Eye of the beholder? It’s a measured event. You have a gps based device that initiates a timer based on begins Of momentum and the timer completes the measurement at 60mph. Manufacturers measure avg times they attain in the environment they select and post their performance numbers based on the conclusions.
your overthinking this 10 fold

It’s either true ignorance or next level trolling
Cool your jets young whipper snapper! Didn't your mommy and daddy up there in Canada teach you to respect your elders?
It is plain to see they also didn't take you to the wood shed enough.
You can call any car a GT if you want. That does not make it a true GT. If you don't understand that from the get go then you're really at a disadvantage here with respect to a true GT car. Look it up son.
Tasteful mods are okay at best. This is just my opinion. Isn't that part of what a forum is all about? Now be a nice boy.

You’re fun.
Who decides what a GT is? You?
Lordy, your shown automotive related input has been quite limited up to this point, now your going to teach me a thing or two eh..lol.
I wish I was a young man, what I am is a man who’s been in the automotive related field for nearly 30yrs. There’s very few folks that are schooling me these days, and when they do I quiet down and listen intently. Thus far I’ve not been schooled by you sir...lol not in the least.

Since you're ignorant to what a GT automobile is I'm going to school you. By the way, we're all ignorant. So quiet down and listen intently. A GT = Grand Tourer or Grand Turismo (Italian if you don't know) A type of sports car designed for high speed and long distance driving, due to a combination of performance and luxury attributes. Those words did not come from me. Look it up.
There...…..you've been schooled!!!
You’re trying so hard to be relevant. You want the stinger to be a single purpose vehicle because you’ve read it’s a ‘GT’.... we see that. Then let it be a by the book GT if that satisfies you. To me it’s just a part time modified 1320 track car that my wife drives daily (winter excluded). You are not an individual who’s going to ‘teach’ me about automobiles, your far too small minded at this point in your life to grasp the idea that a car (like the stinger) can be a track car, touring car, mod car, what ever the owner wants it to be, and that’s what it is...lord it’s still just a Audi econo knockoff lol

Finally someone said it. I love this car to death but I also fully acknowlege if I could get into a new S7 or Panamera...

I'm pretty sure it's spelled "Gran Turismo" in Italian.
