Gutted init.... Wouldn't accept the amazing performance of my 54BHP Seicento either

0-60 mph: 9.879818231713623 seconds

Not that far off

0-60 4.8 secs could be a little optomistic.

Zip · 26 Dec 2007 at 12:56

8.8 Seconds for the camry timed by the stop watch. Which is aslso the quoted time by the manufacturer :cool:

Muncher · 26 Dec 2007 at 13:03

4.27 seconds, which is a tad optomistic.

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

I put pretty much standard figures in for the MR2 and came out at 5.3

Prob is every one of these put the power, weight and drive wheels always assume the engine is in the wrong place.

Lashout_UK · 26 Dec 2007 at 13:20

Calcs my old 'un as : 0-60 mph: 5.15

Which is close but .35 under stock time

HeeroUk · 26 Dec 2007 at 15:21

6.3 secs not far of
Accord type r

Doesn't work with bikes... ;-)

Power / Weight Ratio: 0.4675324675324675
0-60 mph: 1.4785264225480745 seconds

At least a second optimistic lmao

Mine's about right from that site, a tenth or 2 out.

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

Erm that puts my car at doing 0-60 in 5.6 seconds. *

I wish!

*Audi A3 3.2 Quattro (manual)

247BHP (or 246.7 but I rounded up), 3330lbs (1500kg * 2.2 overestimate from parkers figure)

Book is 6.4 seconds (which is about right as long as the shift from 2nd to 3rd is quick enough)

PiKe · 26 Dec 2007 at 20:57

So what was the result with GPS?

mrk · 26 Dec 2007 at 21:09

If I stripped 1000lbs off my car it could do 0-60 in 6.6 seconds.

Yay!

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 321
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1500
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 217.44
0 - 60 (Secs) : 5.14
0 - 100 (Secs) : 12.05
60 - 100 (Secs) : 6.91
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.42
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 105.52
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.32
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 106.71

thats according to the second calculator for my car.not that far off as autocar got 5.3 to 60mph and 12.2 to 100mph and 13.7 at 106mph for 1/4 but generally these calculators are just good for a laugh

Housey · 26 Dec 2007 at 22:39

4.3 seconds, which is as quoted in road tests, so **** on for mine.

PMKeates · 26 Dec 2007 at 23:32

On the subject of stat calculation: top speed

Obviously ignores gearing, power characteristics etc; but is surprisingly accurate for a number of cars!

E.g. Volkswagen Golf

Golf GT Sport 170PS published top speed: 137mph
Golf GTI 200PS published top speed: 146mph

Calculated top speed ((200/170)^(1/3)) x 137 = 145mph

Pretty reasonable!
