It's a double whammy though. Inaccuracy of speedo and timing equipment. A second could easily gained (as in more) with true readings from specialised equipment.

 

MY MERC'S BEEN TIMED AT 3.6 0-60 , MY SCOOB 4.2 0-60 , MY EVO 10 6.2 0-60, MY 08 SKYLINE GT-R 3.8 0-60.

 

My mate Barry rekons my car, although a non turbo, is pretty quick as there is no lag like wot u get on a turbo car.

Barry did most of the tunning

See my scobby
<


He rekons 5.5 seconds - but thats his motorsport experence - no timing equipment.

Sy

 

ROFLOL

 

You have to get to this guys view my scooby to see the gains he thinks he is getting from mods!!!

MATE THAT IS CLASS!!!!
Is your mechanic a 'specialist'

 

Hes not a mechanic, more of an advisor - he was a Marshall at a race track for 3 years, so I suspect he knows a thing or two.

Sy.

 

that "my scooby" has to be a wind up

 

^^ Everyone knows that a turbonator is where it's at ...

TX.

 

345bhp man that is so funny

thats class m8

mine must be 2000bhp (barrys Estimate) lol

 

Haha why dont you get a electric super charger and resistor herd they do wonders, roflmao if it is a wind up its dam good funny one

 

im looking at 4.7 in a similar car to petes...with less power

 

or he could be a nutter

makes me wonder, y did i just spend a few grand on mine to get 320bhp when i could of jus got a Turbonator an some Gearbox Treament

 

My Head, 0.01

 

lol did you not think sleepersy might be joking...im sure he's running a big power motor if i remember from previous threads

 

of course he's joking, im only messing about,

 

merry xmas

 

if thats not just plucked from thin air then id be pretty disapointed with the evos 0-60

I have a VW golf that would outrun it.

 

Well, my RA's standard 0-60's ment to be 4.7, with 260bhp. I guess, with 330bhp, i'd be in the low 4's. I've also saved a few kg's in weight with headers, cat's and seats, so around the 1150kg mark.
This gives a 287 bhp/ton. In a lardy newage (1475kg), you'd need 423bhp for the same power to weight.
All i know is it's mental!
Oh, and the 30-130 test, i don't think my car would get their with it's ratios!
That car calculator says 3.6sec, which i'd be amazed if i was near that!

 

i read a review somwhere stating the ras were 4.3 stis came at 4.7 and wrx where 4.9 when they tested them they all came in lower cant remeber what they where but it was .1 or .2 or somthing quicker than stated and the uks where varried from 5.5 to the 6s for classics.

you see ppl on here doing simliar times and thats what ataleast 10 yrs on now the classic have definatly stood there time well.
can any one remeber testing a brand new classic uk or jdm what where they like then

 

Didn't autocar get 5.2 for a standard my99 classic back in the day? Evo recorded 4.3 or 4.4 for a 350bhp spec c as well if I remember a few years back ?

 

id reckon between 4 seconds and 4.4 seconds i have a spec c ra r 345hp dont know the 0 too 100 time

 

I think mine would be in the mid 4s too, nice and lightweight and close gearing...

 

Mine is:-

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 282
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1361
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 210.53
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.78
0 - 100 (Secs) : 12.76
60 - 100 (Secs) : 7.98
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.49
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 102.85
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.09
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 106.16

 

Sy, if Barry is coming along to Blackheath do you reckon he'll give mine the once over?

 

All these on paper " my mate timed me figures" are not exactly accurate.
Same with the jokers Iphone.

The only real way to get accurate figures is with proper timing gear.

As for the "Do I know about diminishing returns comment", of course I do I've spent a fortune tuning a scooby!!!!" LOL

Cheers for the neg. Some people really don't understand humorous sarcasm. Just as well the infract system can no longer be abused

 

Some of the GPS software is astonishing Daz, does full lap timing, aswell as acceleration and braking G and 0-60/ 1/4 mile timing. Can be quite accurate.
But I agree, the only way to get really accurate figures is with proper timing gear.

 

Totally agree mate but the I phone is not exactly a driftbox is it? lol

 

Going by that, 210 bhp/ton mine at 286bhp/ton must be very low 4's, even high 3's with the RA box!

 

Pretty low with the RA's I think, mine is about the 300 bhp mark, no eletrics or anything so fairly light and I guestimated around the sub 4.5 second mark

 

not had a chance to do a proper 0-60 on my wrx . but my saxo vts 160 bhp and 820kg ran 0-60 in 5.9 sec no turbo no nos and still 1600 cc and was timmed properly with athletics timming gear
