idk how reputable this site is, and these two guys arent the prettiest looking/dressed guys. which makes me question everything a little bit more. http://www.tflcar.com/2012/07/2013-s...mashup-review/

I wonder how much time could have been shaved off if they did the test with no passenger. i would assume larry the cable guy and his buddy combine for well over 400lbs. 1 mile above sea lvl adds 4-5 seconds?

They were shifting in sport-auto, not manual-paddles, could also decrease the 0-60, and the combined weight is about 500. They have the lamest 0-60 tests, otherwise good reviews.

also keep in mind they add 500+ pounds of weight with just the two of them in the car lol

The reason why is because they were 1 mile above sea level which causes massive power loss to cars. That is the most important. Also, yes, they are fat. At normal altitude they would get approx 8 seconds with them both in the car.

The only way to combat high altitude performance degredation is to have a v8 lol.
