Default I suck......

Me and a 2 of my buddies were in my car the other day way out in BFE of north carolina on some long two road that seems to never be driven on...anyway i decide to see what my 0-60 is so i pull out the good ol sanyo and hand it to my friend and he uses the stop watch on it. i could not do any faster then a 6.5 i mean granted i had two other people on the car and a some stuff and had no business in my trunk back there shouldnt it be faster then that. I know that the stopwatch on the phone cant be that accurate but dang.[]

Dont feel bad, 300 to 400 lbs of additional humans in your car will totally screw up your 0-60 time.

You know the funny thing is, i was just looking at my sticker on the door and it says between four people and cargo, you should never exceed 700 pounds. That seems kinda light considering most people are overweight these days, time to put my passangers on diets.

For every 100lbs of weight you lose a tenth of a second, extra people and some gear and the 6.5 doesn't sound that far off. Drop the dude, keep the girls because lets be honest, they're girls, so who cares how they affect 0 to 60.

i cleaned the car up and put the right amount of pressure in my tires (they were alittle low) and now i think im almost to what the magazines say...about 5.5, but thats ok when i get the other motor done it wont matter.

It's funny but I believe I can better traction with a couple friends in the back, it keeps the car steady and straight.
