whats times has every one clocked at 0-60mph come on tell us plz

Why are ppl obsessed with 0-60 times.

Chip

dunno its just nice to know lol

Why are ppl obssd wth mssng out vwls nd syng "plz" n hr?

One of these would come in very handy for timing 0-60 and much more (post also includes one of my times; not the best launch I've done though...):

:D

if you agree to pay for my new clutch, 4 new tyres and anything else that gets f***ed to keep you happy I'll give it a go :thumb:

:nono: this is the guys 3rd post on here, its a reasonable question. Why cant you either answer it or dont put anything:wonder:

Because he said "plz". I'm afraid it provoked my attack response.

Besides, only schoolboys and eejits are obsessed with 0-60 times. :D

:lol1:

0-60 is quite pointless in 99% of cases unless you want to try to beat a 1ltr corsa off the line? ;)
What you really want to look at is your in gear times, this is where your real power is ;):D

Tony:D

Jake it's a hard one to answer, most of the people who have drag raced their cars will only know their 0-60ft, 1/4 mile ET's or top speed runs. Only the ones with data logging will be able to say with any degree of accuracy.

Bubba, apologies for the abbreviation re. ET's

or unless you want to beat any other car off the line :lol:

Oldfella, I don't know what it means. I'd better phone home to find out. :D

That, of course is the problem with abbreviations :D

I will be of help.

I managed 4.6 secs with a scooby STI8 340bhp with ligtened fly wheel, AP clutch and other bits :)

Well if its a corsa id be upset of course ;) but when you can real in M3's and AMG's with your midrange torque.... now thats when your talking ;):D

Tony:D

2.6 seconds :cool:

10 days... depending on the hill :(

My 0-60 speed is 60mph :D

Beat me to it :lol1:

Personally I think it's time we now used 0-70mph!!! When I were a lad, they used to use 0-50mph. As the average power of cars increased they upped it to 0-60. So as there has been a huge increase in engine power isn't time we went to 0-70mph??
dave:D


























Look, it's only a useless piece of information that only a complete numpty would try to replicate with his own car (automatics accepted!) IMHO of course.

0-60mph is used because the Metric world use 0-100kmh (60mph = 96kmh)..

I agree it't not the best measure, but still useful.. Imprezas get off the line well. There's nothing wrong with measuring it.

I posted various figures from my MY93, before and after decat, but can't find the post to edit:
0.60 5.28 best time so far
30-70 through gears 4.77 (5.4 with cat)
50-70 in top 5.8
50-70 in 3rd 2.4

Most technical people now quote 0-62mph as this also coveres the 0-100km/h time.

I have got 5.4 seconds off my old WRX (270bhp) but that was not using proper timing gear just a stop watch. Did 0-60 in 3.99 using a Race Tech timer, Cateringvan running 420bhp/ton and on slicks. :Whatever_

wasnt that pic taken on the max power shoot with the lambo, sti and that fiesta cosworth engined monster?

Funny...because 0-60 is the ONLY thing an Impreza is good at :lol1: :D


FWIW, Mine consistently does 0-60 in less than 5.5sec depending if I had lunch before my launch ;)

Mine is acutally very good in the midrange also, probably something to do with the 356lbs of torque she's producing ;):D

Tony:D

4.43 2003 WRX (NON sti)

lol @ pavlo:thumb:

3.4 for me:( ish:) and 2 gear changes need 3rd for 60:D mid range its even quicker lol

3.5 secs for me at Bruntingthorpe, completely standard 1 year old vehicle that cost me £3,250 in 1988.


Suzuki RG500 :)
