0-60 mph Times

[Atlas]

I've been tying to lower 0-60 times but no matter how I shorten it the wheels always want to spin more, is there a way to shorten 0-60 time without causing wheel spin

Ideally, you want second (or third if you have more than 6) gear to go to 100 km/h or 60 mph. Bigger tires will help a bit too.

Light weight, big power, 1st gear to 60+ mph, four wheel drive, really wide tyres.

First gear to 60 usually ends up with a slower acceleration. AWD, not 4x4 too.

not if you have way too much power

Exactly. If you have enough power having a 200+ mph first gear is ok, it is just that in cars that means well over a 1000 bhp.

What's the weight distribution and power distribution?

[Atlas]

thanks for your help, now it does 0-60 in 2.4 seconds and can reach 240 mph

the lowest I went was 1.9 second with quality spam

nice

For 0-60 anything past about 1000hp is mostly wasted, since you're not getting full throttle.

if we had drag radials, that would change the situation.

Also, there seems to be a hard-limit on tire grip at about 1.5g acceleration no matter what.
