A good launch will do under 8 seconds and remember, the gearing is tall. Although the fusion is almost as fast to 60, past that the svt will pull away, and we aren't even going into its specialty.. turns ;)
It's surprising how slow it is, I have an automatic Saturn that is 19 years old and does 0-60 in around 8.5 and that's only pushing like 110 horsepower
@@Anthony-df4bs The first gen ('06-'09) V6 Fusion was absolutely faster than 9 seconds no matter which transmission you chose. 9.5 seconds sounds like a 4cyl with automatic. The '06 V6 Fusion with manual was clocked at ~6.6 by most magazines at the time. Same for the Mazda6 V6 since it was the same engine and platform.
it's amazing to me how slow 170 hp was 10 years ago.. 9 seconds to 60? i've got 160 hp in my 09 Fusion, and thing will do 8 flat all day with a good launch.. not to mention, it weighs another 400 lbs or so.

That's it? The 5spd Escort ZX2 base model could do 60 in 7.8. I'm pretty certain the SVT Focus could do it in 7.2 or so with manual.
Let's hope so, gotta find a way to shake off the cats sleeping on the roof some how! 😆
Beautiful glowing green gauges❤
omg, i love this car so much
hva red 2002 svt.. love it..
SVT's long gearing is not meant for straight line acceleration but more for autocross and track that's partly why it's hard.
My 2010 Camry LE 2.5L 6A would smoke this even my moms 2017 Focus SEL 2.0L GDI could too.
Probably not but they def dont brake handle or look as good so even if it was barely quicker the svt is way more car

he isnt foot to the floor my cuz owns one way faster
Oooooh okay that makes sense because I couldnt believe it was actually that slow
+BMYSTER96 plus manuals dont get off the line as fast as a auto
What? How the hell does that make any sense?
BMYSTER96 what do you mean???
c'mon it can't be that hard huh? you should try launching a gt500! it's ridiculous lol
>dat 12.7 to 1 1st gear. It's double layshafts, the actually ratio is a tall 4.6 gear ratio.
Wow what a difference 5 years makes. I have an 08 fusion V6 that does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds
no the fuck it dont ^^^^^
that's impressive considering car and driver has it listed at 9.5 seconds..
Not even close to no 5.9 lmfao

The launch was not impressive but the car is overall quick
My legs can out run all your cars and things BUT"! do too my Daredevil years I'm pretty much disabled 😂😂😂😂👺
Nice. its hard to launch these things :/
dude look at the milage my 04 svt has compared to yours
Certainly a faster 0-60 than my crown vic :/ LOL
your crown vic must be a piece of shit then.
Crown Vics are slow as fuck.
crown vic is over 4,000 lbs., has a truck frame, and has an outdated 4.6 l engine that dates back to 1979. quit your pitiful comparisons.
i might as well add, that my crown vic gets 18 city/26 highway :)
Damn, SVT must stand for Slow Vehicle Team at Ford.

My 03 SVT does 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds and is mostly stock, you have to keep the RPMs up and stay in the power band.....
Motortrend tested the cars 0-60 in 7 seconds 🤷♂️
yall are saying thats slow thats pretty good 0 to 60
Not even close to what it was tested by motor trend, or other people, from the factory. So yes, this was slow.
lol thatll probably do 0-60 in like around 6 to 8 seconds lol cause my ford escort zx2 gets 0-60 in around 7 or so
I'm Xypher no no no. it gets there in eight seconds.
6 and 8 seconds is a huge difference and zx2 are like 9 seconds at best
slow
my 07 focus zx4 does better then that.
Phil Kimball comparing an 07 to and 03 are you? Shame on you, sir.
