    0 to 60 and more

    I was looking for the 0 to 60 and found this...

    Performance Top
    0 - 30 (sec): 3.4
    0 - 45 (sec): 5.5
    0 - 60 (sec): 8.5
    0 - 75 (sec): 12.0
    1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 16.17@87.09
    30 - 0 (ft): 32.58
    60 - 0 (ft): 131.41
    Braking Rating (Excellent, Good, Average, Poor or Very Poor): Good
    Slalom (mph): 61.5
    Skid Pad (g-force): 39.3
    Handling Rating (Excellent, Good, Average, Poor or Very Poor): Good
    Db @ Idle: Low
    Db @ Full Throttle: 74
    Db @ 70 mph Cruise: 69
    Acceleration Comments: While the pushrod 3.5 V6 may not pack cutting edge technology, it provides plenty of power. The transmission upshifts at 5,800 rpm under full throttle, and the shifts feel crisp and positive. The front tires break loose a little when the car first leaves the line, and it will hold every gear all the way to redline when shifted into manual mode. Overall a decent performer considering the price category.
    Braking Comments: We noticed a minimal amount of ABS noise and vibration through the pdeal. Stops from 60mph were straight and there was only the most minimal amount of nose dive. The pedal wasn't quite as progressive as we would have liked, and the ABS should have cycled a little faster.
    Handling Comments: The G6 shares a platform with the Chevy Malibu, and both of these vehicles have proven that they are quite solid in the handling department. Overall dynamics are quite good for a volume selling sedan, and the G6 GT comes with sport-tuned suspension that makes a big difference in how the car handles and rides. The steering feel is not up to Honda Accord standards, but it is still a good car that offers predictable handling and plenty of power to pull out of the final cones.

              well, I know road and track, when they test their cars, post numbers that they figure are easily attainable time after time. So they don't always post their absolute best launch after trying a series of time, but try to focus on what a large number of people can attain normally. So with a good launch and shifts, it doesn't suprise me that faster times have been posted
