Our car has the 2.0 turbo engine coupled with an all wheel drive system. We are aiming to bring out a lot of exciting performance\/handling parts for the Hornet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have bought a Dragy GPS Performance Meter that we are using with our phone to test the 0-30, 0-60 and quarter mile times. The Dragy interfaces with multiple satellites to log altitude, and performance statistics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have found that the lowest possible 0-60 time can be had when you brake boosting to about 2000 rpm from a complete stop, with the AC off, Sport mode on and then launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a quick summary of a bunch of runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e0-60mph\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n7.2 seconds - bone stock, rolling out with no brake boosting, stock wheels, AC on. Release the brake, smash the gas.6.80 - 6.85 seconds - this is rolling out from a stop with sport mode on, and with AC on. Release the brake, smash the gas.6.27 - 6.35 seconds - this is brake boosting to 2000 rpms, AC off, sport mode on, and with stock wheels.6.01 - 6.11 seconds - this is brake boosting to 2000 rpms, AC off, sport mode on, and with our new lighter wheels.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n5.99-6.10 - We hit a new record! Same as above but with our high flow air intake filter.5.87-5.95 Same air intake filter as above, but now with our prototype air intake kit. It should be noted that we are getting noticeable wheel spin (With traction control on!!)\n\u003cp\u003eNow, we want to take a moment to explain more about our lighter wheel\/rotor setup. The factory 18 inch wheels weigh 27.50lbs. That is VERY heavy, and wheels\/tires\/rotors have an immediate impact on a cars throttle response!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur new Enkei M52 wheels are 21.40 lbs per corner, or 6.10 lbs per corner lighter. That is substantial. Also, we put on drilled and slotted rotors, the front OEM rotors weighed 22lbs and 11 ounches each. Our drilled and slotted rotors are 21lbs and 11 ounces each or about one pound lighter per corner. The rear rotors weighed 10 lbs 5 ounces, the drilled and slotted aftermarket wheels were 10lbs and 3 ounces, for a 2 ounce savings per corner. Altogether this saved about 27 lbs of rotating mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReducing rotating mass allows our Hornet to accelerate more easily, and have improved throttle response. You can see in our 0-60 times that it saved about .20 to .30 seconds off of our 0-60mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, the morale of the story here is, that rotating mass is very important to a cars acceleration, and keep it in mind if you are ever buying new wheels for your Dodge Hornet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"qanda-proddetail\"\u003e\u003cheader\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Modern Performance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43259445477454,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2902\/0238\/files\/2795_10373_popup_a6cecb46-1ba3-4e0b-a846-f691f0258441.jpg?v=1767581645"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2902\/0238\/collections\/imgi_3_category_1543_6138-9521958.jpg?v=1767369361","url":"https:\/\/www.modernperformance.com\/collections\/dodge-hornet-tech-articles-0-60-times.oembed","provider":"Modern Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
