smooth1 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 You have to take into consideration a variety of different conditions. Maybe the the grip was better, or they were at a lower altitude, and the weather was cooler, and the driver weighed less, and they had less gas in the car, and they had a car that was broken in better and the motor produced slightly better acceleration, and hp. I think they do it though as more of an average than an exact number from the factory. Most report/reviews may make several 0-60 runs, and only report the best time as opposed the the average time which I think the factory goes by. That's only a guess though. I don't know how the factory actually arrives at thier numbers. I do know that they are undergoing a new more accurate system for measuring miles per gallon in advertising. So the sticker on the new car is going to reflect much closer to the real MPG's. I think Ford is already using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow-scorpion Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Is the RWD quicker than the AWD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightshade Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Is the RWD quicker than the AWD? It certainly should be given it's considerably lighter, and it's not like either has enough power to have traction issues when launching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_raider Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Is the RWD quicker than the AWD? Probably a full second quicker on dry pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
