Well.......knowing pretty much what translates from final ET and speed and given that in general a vehicle traversing the 1/4 mile will generate roughly 67% of it's final speed by the halfway point......it should have reached the 60 MPH mark at roughly 450 - 500 feet. With acceleration rate slowing as a vehicle passes the 660 foot mark it would look like the 0 - 60 time would work out to somewhere around the high 6 or so seconds bracket.
Still, rather impressive for a tiny little vehicle like this!
Just for grins, compare this with a Top Fuel dragster's numbers.
From Pomona 2006 -
Tony Schumacher's incremental times:
60ft-0.841 sec
330ft-2.114 sec
660ft-3.003 sec @ 283.19mph
1,000ft-3.759 sec
1320ft- 4.428 sec @ 327.98mph
His fastest speed ever was 337.58 mph done at Brainerd, MN in 2005
But in perspective.....that Fiat run was pretty impressive.
