i was gonna say, if a 95 Max GLE can go 0-60 in 44 feet, then I am trading in my max for a 95 hahaha
I'll be the fastest car around, as long as I didn't have to go faster than 60.
I'll start the 1/125th mile race hahaha

Kinematics
You'll need to know that:
60 miles/hr = .0167 miles/sec
1 mile = 5280 ft
Calculate the acceleration; initial velocity and time are zero. Solve for distance and make sure your units are correct. Don't forget to square time, I've always forgot to do that, from high school through undergrad...
