Current Events > Is 0-60 in 8 seconds enough for merging?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sounds kinda risky

Try it and find out
Just don't call me as your witness if something happens, cuz I won't vouch for you.

in what situation would that matter. 60mph is highway speed, if you're going from a standstill to 60 on the highway there's either a traffic jam or you're fucking around. if you're doing it at a red light on a regular street you deserve the reckless driving ticket you end up with.

It matters when the merge ramp is short.

It's definitely on the weaker/low end. However it should be fine as there's vehicles with worse that manage to make it work. Some can't even reach or maintain 60-70 without exploding or becoming super unstable due to design.

All I can say is push it, hope you get to at least 50-55 before being forced into flow. Also hope others are generous/smart enough to not plow into you, but that's a lot of hope.

If you have to take a short onramp every single day then I guess it could become annoying/terrifying, but eventually you'll get used to it or find another route if absolutely needed. Once you start experiencing 0-60 in 10+ seconds, then you'll start to question things. Another thing to take into account is incline. If it's a steep short incline then I wouldn't be suprised if you struggle to break 40, which could be problematic.

If you're ever 0 on the ramp you already fucked up or the traffic is gridlocked and it doesn't matter how fast you accelerate.
