Cleanbluesky's thread about his mx5 got me thinking, some ppl just think the MX5 is out and out slow but good fun to chuck around, never done any 0-60 and onwards timed runs in mine so i though i would do one to show how the car pulls.

This was done with the roof down so it will be a fraction quicker with the roof and windows up, flat road but not totally straight, its hard to find a good long private driveway without the odd kink!

I know several other ppl have done vids so post em all in this thread :)

Anyways have a spy 0-60 is hit in just over 6 seconds its prolly 6.5 but taking the speedo error into account i get a 0-60 in 7 seconds in that vid and 0-80 comes up in 11 :)

Enjoy

Only thing I've ever timed in the Elise was 40-70, with a passenger doing the timing on a sweltering hot day. Think it came back at 3.1s which I thought wasn't too shabby.
 
Ive got a G tech meter but can never find a place where I can stop which is flat, where I dont get in the way of everyone whilst stopped and can get to a decent speed without speeding too much.

I believe the car is capable of 0-60s in the mid 5 secs range and 1/4 miles in the mid 13s

Mine pulls all the time. Every time I park it in a wide open space in a car park its surrounded by filthy harlots by the time I get back.

HT Leads are the Magancore ones, Plugs Are the NGK Longer Reach, Induction is the K&N Typhoon, Cold Air feed and box are home made, Exhaust is the IL Motorsport Twin.

Leads £51
Plugs £12
Induction £175
Exhaust £350

I do however have a Wideband O2 feeding a narrowband signal to the stock ecu and the Wideband feeding my Emanage Ultimate, i've tuned it slightly ;)
 
No vids but my Hyundai did it in 8.2 on a G-Tech meter. Haven't tested the new on yet but i imagine it will be faster than that. I'll see if i can get a vid sorted when i get back from Wales next week.

I love these speedo ones. If I went by mine I would be only getting to 55 real speed when I hit 60 on speedo.

I noticed that with my MR2 today, it's a lot more inaccurate than my previous cars.

Exactly and as speed builds the time taken to cover 5mph begins to get a lot bigger!
 
Gonna have to try a 0-55 and see what sort of time I can get.

Would imagine 5 secs maybe under. ;)

I know a G meter wont be 100% but it has to be better than the speedo and timer method.

For the record I used to do the speedo timer method my self and thought my 1.25 would do 0-60 in 10 secs. :)
