0-60 of a standard UK 2000 Turbo (un-modified)
Hi,
Anyone got any realistic times of a UK 2000 turbo 4 door, 5 speed??
On my first ever 0-60 try, I got 8.3 secs....I recon I can shave a second off that easy with a practice or two, I didnt dunp the clutch very hard. does that sound about right?
the quoted figure is 6.5 secs I think. anyone actually managed this? I dont think my car is capable without wrecking the clutch!!
cheers,
paul.

6.5 was a bit of a joke TBH. I think Subaru probably knew it to, but kept it at that for insurance reasons! Ever magazine that has tested the MY99/00 has recorded a 0-60 time of the mid fives.
You should easily be able to acheive the quoted mid 6 figure without wrecking your clutch! Don't dump it at all- modulate the throttle against the clutch such that the revs remain at about 3.5k and instant slingshot take off. Alternatively, let the cluth out fully at low revs and then plant the accelerator. Brief pause then........whoa!!!!!!! Great fun and won't hurt your clutch!
All the best,

I'm worried the car is a bit buggered actually.....I've managed much faster times in my mr2 without trying, running similar kind of power.

On a std TD04 in a car with its cats in place, you'll hear the turbo starting at about 2.5k rpm, it gets serious at 3k ish and is really blowing at 3.5k. Keept it at 3.5k at launch and it's goodbye to pretty much anything you can buy for sensible money!

Get it checked.

with only an exhaust change, back in the day, stef managed a 4.8 0-60 on a uk turbo.
I would check for leaks.
60bhp of transmission loss is actually quite low, I guess it depends on the rollers. I would expect anywhere between 80 and 100.

They don't have the performance end of the market to themselves as they once did, but be in no doubt, they are still very capable, very fast cars!
Respect is due!!
