Go to your local track and run the quarter mile.

Ok maybe I need to clarify. What is the best technology to measure 0-60? There has got to be something more accurate than using my iPhone. Suggestions appreciated!

I called a track in Maryland, and they said they cannot estimate 0-60 since there is no way for the track computer to connect to my car. They only measure 1/4 mile, and stats like that. Is that true of all tracks?!

basic yes but get to the track and your time runs. this tell your 1/4 mile run. if you do the 1/4 in 14.6 stock your ok.

Got it- but then how do I measure 0-60 if I cannot do it at the track? Aside from manually timing myself, there has to be a more precise and scientific method?!

the average 0-60 run would be about 6.0 best I can tell you.
