The new chevy sonic can do 0-60 in .4 seconds...

When dropped out of a airplane.

I don't think Chevy knows how gravity works...

:bs:

0.4 seconds after that Sonic is dropped out of that plane it's going a measly 8.77 mph... which is not 60 mph by a long shot (1)....

Hell, it'd take at least 2.735 seconds to do 0-60.

(End nerd rant.)

Maybe the plane was going 70 and the car slowed down to 60 in .4 seconds.:biggrin:

Anyway, i was hoping the chute wouldn't open... and that they dropped it over a Chrysler Dealership.

Great link on gravity.
On a side note, if you dropped it from 1320ft (1/4 mile) it would be a 9 second car.

NO NO NO, it's because they took the drivetrain out of the car so it was lighter, because lighter thing don't fall as fast :bellyroll:

guys... when it gets dropped out of the airplane, it's going as fast as the airplane. Right?

Bingo, we have a winner :thumbsup:

You beat me to it!

Yeah, but then it wouldn't be a 0-60 time... it'd be a how-fast-the-plane-is-going-to-60 time... :thumbsup:

I'm pretty sure that they were implying that in free-fall it'd vertically be going 60mph in 0.4 seconds...

...and if that's the case, they are wrong... :eek:

In any case it is the typical BS associated with Government Motors...

Not going in the same direction

.. and drag. From release point to impact point is called a trajectory, as drag and gravity act on the object. Personally, I like the idea of watching a Chev end its life in such a manner.
