Academic question
 

Could not decide where to post it but here it is. From max rpm, gear ratios, diff. ratio, wheel and OEM tires, it looks that you can reach 60.4 mph (97.2 kph) in second. I know it's not an exact science, but would explain the good time reported by Car&Driver for 0-60mph whereas the 0-100kph is nothing to write home about since you do have to shift to 3rd gear.

You own the car, can't you test it yourself?

That's a sweet answer! Thank's sooo much.

I dont bother with speedo just look for the red light

you have to launch the car

What exactly is your question?

Who cares what say car & driver?

Here's the numbers

On a closed course in a vacuum with perfectly formulated asphalt at the proper temperature Michael Schumacher could get a FRS 0-60 like the magazine says

Actually it's more an observation than a question but how much time you loose by shifting. The best drivers and the loosy ones. I mean driving the car not abusing it.

It's not just shifting. You don't spend a lot of time at the perfect rpm; you're either working up to it or moving past it, which means you're using less than max power. It would be interesting to see 0-60 from a cvt that could hold you at max torque and change ratios to speed the car up as fast as possible without bogging the engine.

but actually if you compare our car to others, most people quote 0-60mph or 0-100kph. By using 0-100kph it looks worse because of the need to shift one more gear. That's all I was bringing up.

when playing top trumps, this is a genuine disaster. for the bragging rights, the low top speed is far more humiliating. for driving, zero of the expletive word is given. male enhancements can be had cheaper (sock in pocket etc.)

Translation:
When in a d1ck measuring contest about speed you will come up short. Shove some socks down the front of your pants and call it a day.
