Specs: 0-60 times - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Have we been released any information about possible 0-60 times at all? Or even maybe 1/4 mile time?

Hargert · 10-26-2009, 11:42 PM

The only thing I have heard is 0-60 in around or just under 9 seconds.

Yup, just like Hargert said - all estimates have been around 9ish seconds.

The question remains, is that considered good enough for a new 2 seater Honda sports car, or do people want a lower 0-60?

I wouldn't mind seeing it closer to the 8 - 8.5 second range personally.

Here's a cool chart with some cars 0-60 times just to compare (older gen. cars however) - Performance Statistics

9 seconds!! I really hope they mean like 8.7s and not like 9.2s.

How can it be something as high as 9 seconds+ ?

Apples to oranges the Insight is less powerful than the civic hybrid but can beat it's launch time. The CR-Z hopefully will weight even less, plus gain a larger engine. If it's stil only marginally quicker than a stock R18 civic then a TDI looks a great deal more attractive purcgase to me personally.

9 seconds is way to high. Time for honda to throw in a turbocharger and lower it. Maybe it weighs 4000+ lbs hahaha

Looks like Honda has some work to do on their 0-60 numbers

Looks like the VW diesel Blue Sport will spank it. The diesel has lots of low end torque which would give it much better acceleration + the diesel will weigh less bcus it doesnt use heavy batteries

Lots of carbon fiber would improve this but its not cheap

If VW doesn't build the Blue Sport I was considering building my own by building a diesel powered Porsche 914 or a high MPG C6 Vette

RE the Porsche 914 I was thinking of a VW 2.0 TDI from a Jetta, great thing about the turbo is it could be swapped for a larger turbo or be given more boost and the 914 is very light with an excellent chassis.

RE the Vette I'd look for a crashed Z06 for the aluminum frame and carbon fenders and add a carbon hood, roof, and other carbon bits from race cars. Then drop in a 400hp LS3 instead of the 505hp LS7. I'd also install a solar panel in back under the hatch to power the AC & accesories so they work in traffic with the engine off. That of course would require a device that kills engine when you stop and restarts it quickly. I think the weight could be 3000# or under. If the base C6 gets 30mpg hwy a Vette like this could probably see 35mpg pretty easily maybe more depending on how ones drives

So lets say the Honda CRZ runs a 0-60 in 8.75, what would this translate to in a 1/4 miler time?

MikeCR-Z · 12-08-2009, 05:12 PM

Well if the JDM brochure is correct looks like the 0-60 MPH time will be in at 9.7 secs.

Did Honda make or break your sale, or do you even mind what the 0-60 time is?
