The numbers are secondary to the driving experience of course, but just curious if anyone’s ever benchmark to their conversion against a stopwatch?

The 3.0 car I had years ago ( @GMS drove it) would do 0-50 in 5 sec or less with crude measuring equipt. The rev limiting rotor would hit the wall around 57 mph in 2nd gear, so shifting twice is really going to slow you down, unless you don't care about damaging the car. That engine had tons of torque, three different people accidentally started from a stop in 3rd and didn't stall or kill the clutch, and 3rd tach'd out around 75 mph
