HaydnH Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I would've thought that if purely wanted to improve the 0-60 time you would be better spending the money on launch control, suspensionm tyres etc to get the power you already have down as efficiently as possible.

Keyser Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) .............................. It's just willy waving. Could have alllllllllll the ponies in the world and still be a @*!# driver At this point I would just like to say The 350 had 508HP at the rear wheels (with NOS) and did about a 4.2 0-60 running on warm 888's The 370 has 440HP at the wheels (no NOS) haven't tried 0-60 yet The Radical is around 500HP per ton and the 0-60 is to fast to actually measure Which just leaves me to say MINES BIGGER THAN YOURS just seemed like the right thing to reply Don't worry I'm well aware I have issues Edited January 5, 2015 by Keyser 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I would've thought that if purely wanted to improve the 0-60 time you would be better spending the money on launch control, suspension tyres etc to get the power you already have down as efficiently as possible. ^^This plus you could also spend the money on some crazy short ratio gearbox with no top end and new rear diff to really increase the 0-60 potential.

Jetpilot Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This must be by far the most useless thread replies I have ever had. Perhaps that tells you how little people are interested with 0-60 times then buddy People have tried to give you constructive views on it, even provided links where you can find out the accurate 0-60 time of x car with x hp and x weight under perfect conditions, what more do you need?

hensh65 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 An answer can only be as good as the question Very Philosophical Dan I know there has been hate for 0-60 but I am that guy who loves a 0-60 stat Yes I am pr!ck found a semi decent app on android called car performance that measures 0-60 times. Downloaded it last night while in my mates 3.2 TT MK2, tells you the speed you are doing at any given time which we checked and it was pretty accurate. You come to a complete halt and get the timer ready, obviously uses the GPS on your phone. You hit start but the timer will only start as soon as you start moving. Timed my mates car at 6.1 seconds to 60, given the ground was wet and the stated time was 5.9 its a fairly good measure I think. It also calculates the quarter mile but obviously, which has been pointed out here: 0-60 isn't a good indication of 60-100. Still a cool app IMO.

djtimo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 My car is FI and will do 0-60 in 4-5 seconds, 0-100 in about 9 secs and 0-150 in 19-20 secs. Videos of speedo on my youtube channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A9H-RX Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I worked out my 0-60 to be around 4.3 secs give or take couple of tenths. But that time only ever matters on santa pod. 40 to 100+ there isn't a lot that will keep up. I've got a video of me closing the gap on a brand new vanquish on the top gear run way.
