Does torque affect 0-60 time in equal weight cars?

I'm looking at a Chevrolet cobalt ss supercharged that makes 205 horsepower and 200 lb/ft and it weighs 3000 pounds.

Accident at My Fault Need Repairing Advice?

Was involved in an accident just recently.

Hood hard to close when popped Some leakage after returning from auto shop. We were okay, no info exchanged. Questions: 1. I have AAA insurance, will my premium go high?

How to get dead motorcycle into pickup truck?

My Honda Shadow broke down on the interstate on a flat surface on the median. Costs a ton to tow it and I just need to get it into my truck and I have a motorcycle ramp. This things heavy. Any ideas getting it in? The motorcycle ramp is a little steep so even with 3 people I think it'd be too heavy to push in. Any ideas? Has anyone ever used a come-along? They only have 6 feet of cable so would you need 2 and then winch it in? Read more: How to get dead motorcycle into pickup truck?
