Motorcycles have been able to achieve these figures with sub-500cc since the 1990s. [1]
Many elements change how fast the car can accelerate to 60 mph. [ii] [iii] Tires, elevation above sea level, weight of the driver, testing equipment, weather conditions and surface of testing track all influence these times. [3]
