Can someone pls tell me the easiest way to get my 0-60 and Top speed stats (without breaking the law!)

16vmarc

well you can easily do your 0-60 time, just find a quiet straight back road! top end, get yourself to germany or a straightliners event!

Adam555

Yes but I want it to be precise - ideas anyone?

DEEDEE

1999-2000 ppp
power output 238 bhp @ 5,600 rpm
torque 240lb @ 2,400 rpm
specic output 120 bhp per litre
power to weight ratio 198 bhp per tonne
max speed 143 mph
0 - 60 5.6 seconds
standing quarter 14.3 - 96 mph


How does that sound. Save you getting a ticket and points.

chrisp

except he has an sti2

pslewis

0 - 60 = stopwatch and passenger to push start stop, simple! Mine comes out at 5.4 seconds .......... who needs mods??

Top speed, very difficult - just make it up, say 153 mph?

Sorted

taking into account approx 7% overreading of the speedo and a small error when starting and stopping the stopwatch will make any self test unreliable. You need to do it properly at one of the track events using the proper equipment.

9th May Melbourne Dragstrip York 0-60 Shootout!

nos"TT"

RACETECHNOLOGY DO A PERFORMANCE METER WHICH IS VERY ACCURATE. IT COSTS 140 QUID,GO ON THEIR WEBSITE FOR MORE INFO.

Brassy03WRX

£140 just to have some figures that mean nothing.

0-60 who cares as long as you get a good start and are faster than the other car.

Top speed, who cares how often can you do it before you lose your car for 12 months or cause a 15 car pile up.

Get a life, get the car modded and concentrate on being faster than the other guy, who cares about numbers.

specialx

Yeah ok brassy 0-60's, bhp's, mpg's all mean nothing as long as you get a good start!! lol

would be interested to know the results as we have an STI2

Adam555

The meter from Race Technology looks the best bet - can calc BHP aswell and possibly torque

Would certainly save on any futrue rolling road power tests

DEEDEE

Try again ADAM555
STi 2 1995 - 1996

power output 250 ps @ 6,500 rpm -- sti 3 280 ps @6,500
torque 228lb @ 3,500 rpm --- sti 3 343lb @ 4,000
specic output 125 ps per litre --- sti 3 140 ps per litre
power to weight ratio 203 ps per tonne -- sti 3 227 ps per tonne

Sorry not got the final 3 lines to compare so they are STi 3


max speed 150 mph
0 - 60 4.6 seconds
standing quarter 13.3 - 104mph

Also did I miss some where it said what type of car it was. I guess i jumped to conclusions with what I put

chrisp

DEEDEE it was in another thread. I just happen to read his STI2 thread then this one after .

Those stats look bang on for an early sti

Adam555

Thanks

I'll use the top speed fig as I guess this wouldn't change as I mod the car

0-60 will have to be taken with every mod added so I think I'll try and go halfs with a mate of mine on it

scoobyshootout 2004,will be a good start

StickyMicky

no way has a sti3 got that much torque

greasemonkey

Indeedy. 243lb/ft would be nearer the mark...

fuz

santapod will give you your 0-60 and 1/4 mile time

thatz if your near to j14 on the m1

coulty

My Sti V2 has 275ps (like ALL Sti V2's btw) i got a 13.6 quarter mile time although i dont know what my 0-60 is. That is with a damaged TMIC and no other mods apart from a panel filter.
Hope this helps

my V2 is 308bhp 272lb with a few mods! lol and it CORNERS quite well!!

0-60 is so pointless. it should be 0 to tesco - far more relevant in todays day and age.

rd

StickyMicky

0-60 is very little in my case

kazlo

the race technology unit is a very accurate bit of kit ,my mate had his running against the gps system that performance vw magazine use,and there was if i recall about .1sec on the 0-60 and .25sec on the 1/4 mile,which for a bit of kit that sits on ya dash is pretty accurate ,for a bit of fun.Hope this helps

kazlo

difference between the timing devices /before someone says that .1 secs to 60 cant be accurate!

misty

Have you heard of the new time used now? street time, 5-60mph!!
seems a more true time as awd will have a lesser effect.
dave

THOMO

classic wrx tops 158mph awsome

greasemonkey

That sounds a bit like a Labour Party trick Dave. "We don't like the way the figures look, so let's change the way they're measured"!

In any case, it makes little odds whether you measure from zero to 60 or 5 to 60, AWD will still have a clear advantage in preventing first gear wheelspin, provided you don't lose the boost.

Labour party, when I was in the Labour party, people used to accuse me of blatant electioneering!! "B*llocks" I used to say, Just vote for me and I'll give you the known world. So no change there then.
G.M. Think I'll go back in time 40 years, they used to do 0-50 runs then!! Think of the times we could post then eh!!!
