According to a recent test I read, it turns out a Nascar car takes 6.2sec to reach 0-60mph. That's significantly slower than both a ST and V8 Supercar. Despite Nascar using the 5.7L pushrod 8 cylinder, they weigh in at 1590Kg versus the V8 Supercar's 5L pushrod 8 cylinder but which have a minimum weight requirement of only 1350kg.
Can V8 Supercar's 200kg weight advantage and better gearing account for the big 2.5-3 sec difference??
