Was thinking to myself, when people talk 0-60 times, if they're talking about a vehicle that's not in america, is it still mph? Like the spec of 0-60 to us is mph cuz we're Americans and we use mph, but when talking about UKDM or JDM cars and their 0-60's like in ads or articles, those must be in kph right? meaning the xx in xx seconds varies from mph to kph so like wtf..

Yes... That's what I always get confused because Im Canadian and we used kilometres per hour.
Which is km/h x 1.6 = your mph

I get that what I'm saying like when watching a video on the new GTR and it saying 0-60 in xx seconds, since thats JDM are they talking in kph? So when we compare the corvettes 0-60 and the GTR's 0-60 should we be assuming its mph vs kph?

I think they base those numbers universally. I say that because they're always the same.

so universally speaking its mph?

It's actually Kph/1.6=mph





I think American automobile magazines started using 0-60 back in the day and it carried over to other places in the world as a standardized test. If you see 0-60 and the time seems about right then it is probably MPH. The brits use it.

Further abroad I see 0-100Kph a lot. 96Kph=60Mph so they are actually measuring 0-62, which you will sometimes see it converted to. I bet it gets rounded off and spoken as 0-60. I know I watched a Japanese C6 Z06 test a few years ago that measured it as 0-62. It was quite a bit slower because the C6 Z does 60 in first gear, so they were shifting to get the extra 2mph. It's not exactly apples to apples.

glad it wasnt a completely stupid question.

Not at all
