Whats your 0-60 time?

Im a new scooby owner an the last guy told me this car is 4.7 to 60, I think thats a bit optimistic to be honest

its a classic with 300 BHP/ 260Ft/Lbs torque, anyone else here got similar and know what your 0-60 time is?

Pete

A classic with that power and a good launch that time is possible yes..ESPECIALLY in a lighter classic...

RedScoob

4.7 to 60 is easily possible in a classic with that sort of power.

Mine was ~6.5s although I have seen 5.8-6s, when it was 215bhp.

I timed it recently with the iphone dynometer app, which is pretty accurate, now with 265bhp/270lbft and it did it in 4.9-5s consistently. Probably could do better with more aggressive starts n a dragstrip.

^^^^^^ ROFL!! An extra 50 BHP takes a second off your time?

Cool, so I'll have nearly 400bhp over standard. I must get that software for the I Phone mine should do it in under a second going by that theory lol

Im used to launching front wheel drive cars at around 2.5k RPM

Do I need to be giving it more beans in the scooby?

**** off u tool readup on the app it is rated highly. I did 10 launches all results were very close and in the 5s bracket, which seems spot on for 270bhp to me, seeing as the standard car has been recorded at 5.5s.

scoobytyson

I timed my 0-60 with a driftbox and did 3.8sec but its a newage spec c with 420+bhp also did 0-100mph in 8.7sec

Pete

Good 0-100 that Rob, what,s Pauls in the Evo about mid to late 7s??

You decided on an Engine yet??


Wonder what my 0-100 is, Mark who had it before me ran a 12.3 @ 110, so would it be around 10.5 ish??

Have you no concept of the rule of diminishing returns?

I got 3.0s dead at York Raceway this year on fathers day June 15th with full interior and baby seat, I am number X19 in X-ULT4 Richard Douglas

0-60 requires an element of brutality and skill.

Now 30-130mph is much more interesting.

dougwrx

I know what you mean Shaun the MLR do this all the time, would love to do this myself. Maybe that could be an event we should do .

I am a very sluggish 5.2...... I might have to do a bit of tuning next year!!!

Shaun

Dougwrx,
I may look at organising such a spectacle in 2009. I have appropriate timing equipment and I know a number of people want to give this a punt.

scoobmeister

I've just found some interesting info on the old i-phone dynomometer
iPhone Dynamometer Application - DynoBox
The second paragraph of section 6 of the tutorial makes interesting reading?

Shaun

Are you getting confused with 60ft and 0-60mph times?

Pete

30-130 would be good yes, i,d have a dabble at this in my shy 330bhp car..

scoobytyson

Yes mate paul did 3.9sec to 60mph but 7.8sec to the 100mph, my times were done with pump fuel so would expect a 8.0 with the nitrous on

1997scooby

hi well my classic only 240 - 250 bhp
with some choice mods which allows me to have 0-60 time of 4.8

dunx

iTrader: (3)

Never really bothered, but 400+ bhp in a New-Age should be quite un-shabby ?

dunx

P.S. The "calc" says 3.7 seconds.... I doubt I could manage that really !

dougwrx

LOL no Shaun I get regular 1.6 60ft on road tyres

York now have the timing gear for 0to60ft and 0to60mph one in the left lane and one in the right.

0-100mph in less than 10s = supercar in my book

Try your luck!

300bhp in 1250kg (?) classic = 4.21s to 60mph

Another one here for the 30-130 Shaun, the Adrenaline Motorsport Murtaya with 300bhp did a 3.5 0-60 at Trax last year.

filfy

3.8 in my scoob,had the previous owner launch it and i timed it on the stop watch.also just did the car stats calculator and it came back as 3.73

scoobytyson

timed with a stopwatch

filfy

better than counting it out in your head.
