The great 30-70 thread

Well the evidence is there in video m8, there is no denying the footage its evidence that the car is indeed covering 30-70mph pretty damn quickly. :)
Also whats this 80hp more business? My 3000GT is not 400BHP, I wish. :confused:

Well how much is it? There is no way you going to half a 30-70 time due to your driving

What evidence?
The vid doesnt hit 70, the angle of the camera makes the speedo look like its higher than it is and 70 on the clock isn't 70 in real life. Your using a clock too. Come on seriously, you think a GTO with a bit more boost is quicker than a Ferrari F50 ? :)

If we are going by vids then, what do you guys reckon this is? admittedly it starts a little over 30. I part throttle at the end

Nothing as worthy as yours I'm afraid. YZF600R ~ 100bhp. That figure is without me on it though :o

To be hoenst I think a 600 is a better machine as its not too powerful for it, a blade will pick up a whelie far too easily and mean you will have to shut off the power in order to stop it performing acrobatics. I sporty 600 should be alright, a little wheelie off the power but not too much that you have to drop the throttle.

Mind you I havent been on a blade so I dont know how easy it would be to keep down under 100% power in 1st gear.

Aint got a clue what BHP it is m8. 320BHP as STD, 315lb-ft of torque and 6-speed box. Don't confused mine with the older 5-speed ones or the imports that have less BHP. Mods to mine of K&N CAI Kit, Re-Circ Motorsport Valve, EK2 Downpipe, DECAT Pipe and S/S 2.5" exhaust. Maybe good for about 340BHP at a guess as boost is at STD 10psi.

I don't think its quicker than an F50 and have never stated so. Thats my video clip I did and I did take it upto 68-72mph as indicated on speedometer which could be out who knows, whats the going rate for them been out, 1-2% which would make my actual speed more like 65mph if its out?

Its a superb car that has never let me down and the straight line acceleration has always made me grinn, whether its 3s, 4s or 5s there is no point in arguing over it as when I come back from a short vacation I will be selling the beast as having it just sitting on the drive is a waste of a good car.
 
forgot to add mine:

30-70 on a run through not starting from 30 is about 4.4 seconds, timed from cam/windows movie maker. Evo 3 @ 1bar + hks air filter.


seems about right looking at linky si gave. :)
 
as a guide on the last MLR 30-130 run simon norris got 2.6 seconds in a customers 550hp+ Evo 6 looking at me vbox data, was fastest on the day beating RC developments 700hp monster.


GT3 and 360 where in the 3.8 sec zone as was a Evo 6 @ 410bhp :)
