What is the 0-60mph time for a typical F1Car?

 

[UK230SLK]

0-60-mph for an F1 car will be around 2.3-2.7 seconds, 0-100mph in 3.5-4.0s.

not a good idea to race one at stop light.

How do you think these car's would handle on a normal USA highway? I think these cars are actually safer than what we drive. Look at the accidents on the track. People are still alive. Get in an accident on a highway similar to one on a racetrack with an everyday vehicle, you really might not be around.

they might be safer if you suit up like an F1 driver everyday, fire resistant suit and everything. and wouldnt be as comfortable as normal cars

It's a bit different when two cars of the same weight tangle with each other. If a 1200 pound (?) F 1 and a 4400 pound SL got into it I doubt if the results would be the same.

Not to mention tangling with an Expedition, Suburban, Yokon, or 18 wheeler. I would not want to be sitting behind the wheel of an F1 and be involved in an accident with one of the vehicles.

I remember it wasn't all that long ago the one F 1 landed on top of another. The driver of the bottom car literally had tire skid marks on his helmet.......... I have to think that the end result would have been very different if it were a Yukon.
On rethinking this, it may have been an "Indy" car, but they are similar, not the same, but similar...

It's good to know that I should not accept a challenge from one while in the 32..

I was wondering what cars I needed to worry about when driving the SLK32 ! Every day I become more impressed on its speed, and how fast it really is, and the fact thay few stock cars on the road can go against it. I actually was on the Pocono Speedway with a couple of F1 cars, during an afternoon open track session, with the Miata club, while driving my SLK230, pre Vaeth pulley kit. It was a great afternoon, at times it was just me, 3 F1's, and a Z06 Corvette on the track. When they hit the 'strips' on some of the Apex's I could see their tires leave the road. The most impressive thing from my viewpoint was
how fast that they could make the turns. They were also 'yellow' so I could see them coming, and ALWAYS let them pass me (like I had a choice). Then I had an open track again for awhile, because it would take them 5-6 laps to catch me and pass me again..

When we talking F1 - i assume we talking this:

LelloSLK, did they had F1 cars on Speedway ? There are few in private collections, but i think owners rarely take them out, especially with other cars on a track.

I am so disappointed Kimi didn't get it
Next round Mercedes promised some upgrade, i am hoping Kimi can win next one.
