just recieved my blitz power meter so i thought i would try out the 0-62mph timer. im not the worlds greatest driver and my gear changes are not superb but....... 8.6 seconds. Are the official figures for cars often conservative??? cus according to every source i should be getting 9.1 for 0-60. Also, it refuses to get the power right too, should be between 115-123bhp but it wont let me get less than 130. although i just assume thats due to the power meter not being 100% accurate.

 

For what car?

 

Lol, a slow one

Phill

 

pretty fast for somebody who does not want to pay loads of insurance age 20.

1998 subaru impreza sport 2ltr

 

wait til you can get a scoob that does 0-60 in 4.5seconds. Now thats fun!!

 

thats slow

cookwibble have you set the meter up right??

 

yep, was thinking it may be the weight: 1215kg (but not sure as this is the turbo weight according to sidc)

i wont be getting one that will do 4.5 seconds cus i wont be getting an impreza turbo.

 

the sport should be lighter should it??

 

not sure, no intercooler or turbo, smaller standard wheels???? shouldnt be much though, on parkers website it says 1130kg but that seems too light.

 

Different rear differential, suspension, brakes, and no rear ARB will all add up too. I think there's a thread somewhere on Imprezasport about the weight difference, ~100kg sticks in my mind but I could be making it up!

 

so 1130 may indeed be correct. Off to www.imprezasport.net . shame not many people post on there, its a good forum.

 

not on ...sport.net but i have found that it is in fact 1130kg.

also just found that the 2005 sport is only .5 of a second faster 0-62 than my old 1.25 fiesta. lardy car.
