Default Adding passengers and performance

I'm a little confused. I own an Audi rS4, and I'd like to know how much the performance in terms of acceleration is decreased by each passenger.

I could have sworn that I hit 60 in the high 4s (4.7 or 4.8) with me and 2 others in the car and my clubs.

Was I dreaming or is it not that much of a difference?

Default about 0.3 seconds in the 1/4, or roughly 0.1 sec per 100 pounds.

I actually tested this back in the day when drag strips allowed passengers.

Really?

So 0-60 I'll only lose like .15 seconds for a 150 pound passenger?

Default i use my lap timer, hit start wen i drop the clutch and stop it around 65 and it gives a good idea

of what ur 60 is, i stop at 65 for speedo inaccuracy, not exactly scientific tho

And how did you obtain that unheard of number? Stopwatch?

Default So we can completely disregard any data in this thread

using a stopwatch? I thought people in this forum were generally pretty scientifically inclined individuals. Knowing full well that a stopwatch count from when you "drop the clutch and stop around 65" yields about as accurate a guess as the death toll in darfur.
