can a 2016 owner do a 0-60 test?

Cars are quicker and faster now. A 35yr old 80hp car has no business being on the road now. It belongs in a museum or junkyard.

 

In b4

 

I really enjoy the power of the 2nd gen tacoma getting on the on-ramp by my house - i can nearly hit the speed of traffic now, if i try (about 55mph). With my old 4runners i would have to merge at 40mph because that's as fast as they could go. Trust me, it feels wonderful knowing you're not going to get mowed down by a semi. I really love my GS350 for that on-ramp, i can hit 65mph.

I agree in most places, the 2nd gen tacoma is more than adequate, but there are times and places that i would love alittle more oomph, but much less now than with the older trucks.

I'd be dead in that tercel... LOL...

 

Until you make a thread titled "I done goofed, moving to full size goodbye TW"

 

Oh I understand that I just saw a few kind of hint at it being a safety hazzard being slow and an 8 sec 0-60 isn't unsafe.

 

It also sounds like hydro planing

 

Lol. Yeah, but I'm sure some bro will show up at Paradise or Atlanta motor speedway next season....

 

Wait til the mods see all this speed talk...

 

8 sec 0-60 is slow by todays standards, and frankly the faster the vehicle is the safer you CAN merge. 8 sec 0-60 isnt what anyone would call a safety hazard imo, but its still "relatively" slow.

 

Theres mods on this forum? *sarcasm

With all the bs, bashing, attacks, derailed threads that go on daily i cant say ive noticed any moderation.

 

@sean266 speed talk... In before

 

Does nobody realize that the right lane is the slow lane? LMAO

 

Well around here they merge onto a 65 going 40.... And the lane ends short when it merges.... Almost always have to dead stop to get behind a big rig.

 

I think people wouldn't complain about the 0-60 in 8s so much if the 3.5L got a lot better MPG than the 4.0L. Right now it looks bad because the 3.5L has more power but is slower than the 4.0L while getting only a tiny bit better gas mileage.

 

I wouldn't stop at 60 tbh

 

Pull over by the woods.

 

I do carry TP with me at all times.

 

I have to admit the very first thing I heard about and was interested in with the new Taco is gas mileage. I was hoping for a significant improvement.

 

So 5 pages and no one even owns the new truck to test? I was wondering the same thing as the op.

 

My point is how de-railed this thread was right from the start. I think the new Tacoma doesn't look as good, but the interior is up to par. I don't feel the second gens are all that slow and the new one says 276(indicated). I would be happy if mine had anywhere near that number.
