That's pretty impressive. I've had RWD's with more power that couldn't do that (at least not with my unquestionable skills ). Modern FWDs beat the poop out of older "performance cars".
Back in the day, we used to time with an athletics stopwatch. Start it a bit late, stop it a bit early... LOL. Got some great times out of some rubbish cars. I use a Gtech now, I reckon there's around 1 sec difference between that and a Tag Heur.

Just out of interest what might my 0-60 time be as I've never tried?

Bugeye WRX running 400 / 380 on a Jap 6 speed box....I guess I'd have to change to third LOL

Happy x-mas

Racelogic equipment (i.e. Drift Box etc) is very accurate. I have compared this against Santa Pod / Avon Park as well as various timing equipment at tracks and it gives nigh on the same results.

A lot of bulls**t coming out with these times i think ,i did a 0-60 day at york raceway early this year in my P1 running 350-370 bhp also had a ver 6,type-r box in exedy clutch etc,and only did a 4.1 0-60 and 12.6 1/4 mile,was hittin the 4th gear rev limit on the line tho @ 110mph 8 k revs ,must admit tho it was a very warm humid day so i dare say i could have gone quicker,and the launch was a little boggy.

What you want is a nice lightweight stripped out RA - no idea what my 0-60 is but it's dam quick, you can't throw gears at it fast enough 0-100 comes round pretty quick as well. Weight is the killer as are compromised gear ratio's.

P1, has all the toys that add weight, that the RA doesn't. If ypur P1 did a 4.1, then mine will do the same easy!

True Pete, alot of these calculations are buL**** , i did 4.8s to 100km/h = 62mp/h so it would be aprox 4.6s to 60 with perfomance box wich is very acurate, with around 300 bhp and standart rims, a lot of guys use 18" rims, with those and 300bhp u would look around 5s , not some 4.2 and some other silly numbers....

Sorry Ian, Bazza cant make it - even if he could we agreed he would only tune my car this season. Soz m8.

According to letstorqueBHP that is..

Based on their calc here's mine:

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 340
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1361
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 254.01
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.07
0 - 100 (Secs) : 10.50
60 - 100 (Secs) : 6.43
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.73
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 110.09
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.33
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 113.75



Actually, the 60-100 is about right..

PS Shaun, I'd be up for 30-130, provided it wasn't in an far corner of the country..

I can record consistent 4.2 second runs in mine, using my wrist mounted analogue timing equipment.

Why is everyone so over the top about the ra. Its at best only 40-50kg less than a wrx if it has no toys. But alot you see have electric windows, aircon plus other extras. They also came with the same power as the standard wrx of the same year unless you mean an sti ra. So an early ra, vers 1and 2 may weigh abit less but still only came with 240-260ps. So sorry there not as ballistic as everyone seems to think.
Can of worms opened.

I'd like to point out this was achieved by his 57 year old Father something he's never quite got over!

My figures from lets torque bhp, I can say for a fact I could never achieve that 0-60 time but the 60-100 time looks very possible.

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 440
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1270
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 352.02
0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.22
0 - 100 (Secs) : 8.05
60 - 100 (Secs) : 4.83
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.78
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 120.96
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.38
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 125.16

What does a V3 STI weigh folks??

iTrader: (4)

lets torque bhp is a good site but most people will need alot of practice to get the times its showing . also tyres and air temp can make a massive difference . when i was doing the 1/4 mile sprints in my saxo vts lots of people had a go in alot bigger cars with more power and couldnt beat my 0-60 times .but the 0-60 and 1/4 mile games is not as easy as it looks if u want the best time out of ur car

I'll take you out in mine then, 340 brake 300 pounds of torque and no toys in sight.

BLACK V5

Thanks for the offer. But any classic with that power will be dam quick. Just commenting on the fact that some people seem to think early ra`s with 240ps standard are the fastest things on the planet

agreed, I have a wagon but its probably running over 360 of each and will ruin most peoples days

LOL@can of worms..

My RA runs 341/310 compared to my mates RB5 350/340 both similar specs, VF34,550s,FMIC etc.Even with its slightly more bhp and torque its still no match for the RA which is obvioulsy down to the extra weight and UK gearing.

Mikkel

No idea on mine but would be interested to know. It's a big fat old Hawkeye STI but has a shed load of torque and a 6 speed box so surely low end grunt should be impressive?

Any ideas on what a Hawkeye running 360/390 @ the fly should be able to achieve? I think those mythical factory figures are about 5.5 secs if I remember correctly.

I know it is all theoretical but interesting nevertheless.

Pete

Well my V3 has 330 bhp/ 331ft/lb and did a 12.3 quarter @ 110mph, so i guess it,d be hitting 100 in around high 10s, as for 60 i,d guess mid 4s with a good launch...

Well using that Iphone application, last night I achieved 0-60 in a Mini Cooper S in 7.3 average, 6.95 for a 306 Gti average, and after 3 runs in my STi, with an average 0-10mph time of 2.1 secs each time (it senses the leaning on the clutch/handbrake) and then average 0-60 of 6.69. So I make that 4.59 average to 60 ??? So realistically, somewhere under 5 secs it would seem ?

finalzero

That was my point in my post earlier, people seem to miss the point about the RA gearbox and the DCCD control which when used right, can give you a pretty rapid response.

T5OLF

iTrader: (4)

Who said that? mine will be under 1100kg's next year, even with 240 brake that makes for a quick car.

finalzero

and my RA is yellow, that is easily worth a few 50bhp increases

i am getting the slow version#3.7 to 60 lol
