0-60 mph isnt same as 0-100km/h

Thanks for stating the obvious

0-97 km/h = 60 mph
0-100 km/h = 62 mph

Seriosly though, you would be surprised how many people actually think those two are the same.

That's true,

the one that pisses me off, and i've heard it many times before: 200 km/h = 120 mph..

What pisses me of most is the fact that the U.S people don't use the metric system

I second that klier! It was 2 to 3 years ago there was a debate about changing our system but the president, I believe pushed it under the rug. The metric system is way better and I believe more accurate.

The E63 T is crazy fast, this is really unbelievable. It`s just more proof that more hp improves speed times, turque is pulling power..

There are apparently three countries that have not officially adopted the metric system: U.S., Myanmar and Liberia.

I actually agree with this. They all copy each other and get the same results...not so coincidentally IMO.

I know what you guys mean about American car magazines, honestly Car & Driver has never been the most credible magazine when it comes to acceleration tests. If my memory serves me correctly they achieved 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and 0-100 in 7.4 seconds for the Corvette C6 Z06..

Which as you see is a little too fast, it's not the first either, back in 2003 Car & Driver claimed using a Mercedes-Benz SL600 they achieved 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, after the countless letters sent to the editor it was revealed the SL600 was using a Maybach engine... So...Perosnally, the only American magazine i like and trust is Road & Track. They offer tons of data which always seems to match up with European test data. Let's wait until Sport Auto or AMUS gets a hold of the E63 Touring and see how their numbers compare.
