0-60 times

AmDaMan · 25 Dec 2007 at 11:28

Hi, how do people measure this these days?

I remember the old g-meters but wasn't interested back then.

I just want to see how my old times would compare to the new times with a new map i'm getting. The new map will not be a live map hence my interest in knowing.

I know I should get it RR'd but i haven't got time to get that done until late Jan so plus the gmeter looked like a fun gadget. Seen a similar gmeter but it looks a bit too advanced for what i'm wanting plus it's £150!

There are a few 0-60 calculators online which are OK. http://www.060calculator.com/

There is another one, but I cannot find it. Is the 16v clio you are getting done?

that puts mine at 5.89s :eek:

I'd take some of those calculations with a pinch of salt!

You may be better off putting in your standard figures, then adjusting the weight until it matches the quoted 0-60 time, before putting in your new power.

Puts mine at 0-60 mph: 5.7 seconds which just isnt going to happen.

puts my brothers 106 at 5.2 LOL and mine at 6.6. They are nippy cars but not that quick haha

That site wasn't too bad for me, 0.3 off quoted manufacture time.

AmDaMan · 25 Dec 2007 at 13:58

yeah the 0-60 calculators are rubbish, that's why a gmeter equivalent would be so much better!

My Audi TT Quattro was beaten by the 106 above with a score of 5.9, my car takes more like 6.5 to sixty in reality though.

GT3 · 25 Dec 2007 at 15:57

Puts my saxo at 5.4, i wish!

That site measures weight in lb not kg.

That said, its still way off the mark!

I know, if i used KG it would be more like 0.9 seconds

Got my saxo vts virtually spot on at 7.4 when its actually 7.5.
Its interesting when you change the HP, hmm think I'm goin do a de-cat lol.

FrannoBaz · 25 Dec 2007 at 16:36

hamesy · 25 Dec 2007 at 16:46

Puts my Astra at around 11 seconds, think my fastest was around 12.5 seconds.

Hunders · 25 Dec 2007 at 16:53

5.1 for my MR2, which isn't far off the 5.3 that they do.
