My current engine warm 0 - 60 is 12 - 13 seconds.

My -15F cold 0 - 60 is 90 seconds, bad for the engine to do this; but I was running late.

So, how are you still with us, if it took you that long in MI? I'd be terrified to try to merge onto 75 if I couldn't squirt right out in front of people like I can now. Toledo is bad enough.... I guess since we are 50 miles down the road though, the speeding filters down (not that I mind one bit).

My sundial is too big to carry. Can anyone loan me a sand filled egg timer?

In oklahoma: 0-60 was 15 seconds every time.
In Colorado: 0-60 is 17 seconds. Slower off the line because of the thinner air.

My wagon is normally aspirated first of all. Second, it has issues. It takes me 30-40 seconds to get to 60, and that if I'm on a flat grade. New injectors, so I guess it's the IP, or mis-adjusted linkages. Tranny is perfect.

I'll have to ask the snail that beat me what my 0-60 time is, I'm guessing it's close to 20 seconds . If I want speed, that's what my turbo boxter engined AWD tin can is for...

The 240D was 17 seconds before the head gasket blew.
E300 is 8.5.

I've gotten less than 5 seconds to 60.

On a level road, 2400' elevation, speedometer verified with GPS, average of multiple runs, etc:

1984 300D: about 14 seconds

1987 300D: about 10.5 seconds

1994 E500: about 6.1 seconds (ok, so that's not a diesel. :p )

1981 VW Dasher w/ 48hp 1.5L: Hard to read the sundial, but somewhere around 25 seconds with a tailwind.


(<--we need an emoticon for the diesel forum that says "Got propane?")

Oh, wait!

Perhaps I've been hanging around MBCanada too long. 0-60 mph, AH!

240d: 15 seconds, but going downhill
240d: infinity going uphill

Age and cunning will always over come youth and vigor.

When I push the on-off switch, (I think that is next to the brake ) It can't be an accelerator, accelerate inplies fast It does 0-60 in about 14-15 seconds.
