C&D 0-150-0 MPH Test for 2023 - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Rumor has it the 0-100-0 test was created by Euro car companies back in the day to prove their cars were overall superior to the American "ground-pounding" counterparts.

It tests the full performance range of a vehicle. On the street you need to be able to stop quickly regardless of your speed. If your brakes can't handle stopping you from 150MPH can they handle you at 75MPH?

Also, it's just fun. Are there any of us that wouldn't do this "for science"?

Long as the runout area isn't into a swamp full of gators ...

It's hard enough to do 60 let alone 150.

But it was the American Shelby Cobra 427 that held the record for basically...ever. Nothing from Europe.
