0 to 60 timer availible?

[ddcboyle]

Anyone know if your able to buy a 0 to 60 timer? Something that maybe plugs into car computer? Closest thing is having to press that button on trip computer. Would be a good way of setting a base standard to work with when looking for mods.

Is that stuff accurate or is there a delay? I know it wont be pinpoint, but if I do 0 to 60 in 6.1, I want it atleast 6.2 not 7.5

 

You had one before?

Uses GPS to measure it, so I'd guess its pretty accurate.

Speedview app on android, has a zero to 60 function. auto starts when it senses the car moving.

To save you the trouble see this equation -

 

Mods less than £2k < no impact

[ddcboyle]

Its not really to find out my own mods, its more if I think car is losing power or just me being a dafty. One day the cars rapid and the next im wondering if someone stole my engine

Go to Santa Pod on a RWYB day

0-60 won't tell you if you're losing power. That can be affected by more things driver-related than engine-related.

 

What you need to do is time yourself in gear, and in just the one gear. Say, 30-70 in 3rd at WOT. Any timing app will work for that.

Heat plays a huge part, along with humidity and air density.

Oh yes Zed related, its just a big lazy lump that you can make sound awesome but can't really tune or get much out of without spending big bucks, that was my point

I bought one from ebay for £10, and got the app emailed to me by my mate.

Now there is a constant battle between me and my mate as to who can get the lowest 0-60 in our 350s lol

luckly im still ahead

I'm guessing you hate your drivetrain more than your mate then

I have to say I never found the Zed gearbox/clutch all that friendly to 0-60 burn outs..... I preferred to go round a tight corner at 40 to be honest...
