Apologizes if this is a really dumb question.
How do 0-60 times get worked out? For example, if our Aveo's/Barina's go from 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, how do they work that out? Do they floor it? Go no higher than a certain RPM?

that time seems a little off as the 2008-2010 cobalt ss with 260hp does 0-60 in 5.8 sec
(im not try to be a smart a$$ )
its an average of "successful" attempts at a drag strip.
It's not off at all, I do under 6 seconds with my Aveo hahah :PQuote:

I'm assuming 60kph as opposed to 60mphQuote:

Depends on the car and the best way to launch it, but most if not all will just floor it as you say.
