So is 0-60

Time to distance is a better indication of performance, or at least if you must use time to speed, try 0-100 mph.

My guess the Auto GXE is the fastest since it has the stock 16" inchers. Probably around 7.5 seconds to 60 for the GXE. The car definetly feels faster on the highway though with plenty of passing punch.

My estimate is conservative and more representitive of a non transmission damaging run. If you want to brutalize your autotragic by holding the brake revving and letting her loose, maybe shave half a second off the time.

the 3.5 is around mid sixes. No brake-torque necessary since we have plenty of torque to smoke 'em if we want to...

Just for your information. Jime is probably the fasted auto maxima on this board. He doen't have to brake torque his auto 3.0 from what I read. So I don't quite know what you are getting at.

I agree, brake torque is never good since it bogs down since the car isn't moving, you get a big bog down low.

launch off idle.

Just curious, why do you care? 1/4 mile trap & ET is better IMO, and you can easily test that out on YOUR own car, and not a test mule that a magazine used.
