I've done a little research and can't really find what i'm looking for.

IMO the impreza is an A2B car and specialises in getting off the mark quickly in most conditions.

I know the majority of people are chasing BHP and Torque but how many people are chasing 0-60 times.

I know there are lots of 1/4 mile times posted and also top speed but what about 0 - 60????

So, please feel free to jump in and state you claim...

1. Vehicle sti 98 V5 etc......
2. Modifications 6 speed, exeedy twin plate clutch, AL, LC, 2.1 stroker, SC42 etc....
3. How it has been timed stopwatch, onboard electronic device
4. Plans or opinions on how to make it go quicker???

 

my lasses classic turbo did it in 6.1 thats running on 18"wheels

 

500+bhp V4 type R 0-60 3.1sec 0-60feet 1.3sec

 

That's what i'm after!!!

What's the spec, engine, gearbox, clutch etc??

 

335bhp Newage wrx Wagon, 0-60 4.7 seconds. Standard clutch and 5 speed.

 

What tyres

 

Few years back now but with 380 bhp I did a 3.59 to 60mph on proper timed gear at trax Silverstone.


That inc 3 gear changes on ra box.


I think it would be a bit quicker now though

 

Just a little research and i found this: -

Ferrari F430 0 to 60 mph and Quarter Mile Times

2005 Ferrari F430 0-60 mph 3.7 Quarter mile 11.9

2005 Ferrari F430 Spider 0-60 mph 4.0 Quarter mile 12.3

2006 Ferrari F430 0-60 mph 4.0 Quarter mile 12.3

2006 Ferrari F430 Spider F1 0-60 mph 3.7 Quarter mile 11.9

2008 Ferrari F430 Scuderia 0-60 mph 3.5 Quarter mile 11.5

2009 Ferrari F430 0-60 mph 4.1 Quarter Mile 12.5

2009 Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spider 16M 0-60 mph 3.6

Is this what we're really comparing against to 60? I understand that with our little 2.0 2.1 2.2 and 2.5 engines we can't compete with the big V8's once they're up to 70/80 mph but it's quite impressive so far

 

240bhp new age wrx timed on a trusty Iphone.
5.5 seconds 0-60 pretty much hated doing it to my car as it felt like it was break something lol

 

And none of those times would of been set in the 'real world'.
Published 0-60 times from manufacturers are far from what you'll achoeve on the road/track.
Look at the time for a newage wrx ppp, something like 4.5 secs. Impossible to achieve by anybody in the real world.

 

I have know idea what mine will do it in. Subaru/Prodrive officially stated 0-62 in 4.8 secs although a lot of jurnos and press test drivers managed 4.5 secs, probably due to faster gear changes. Standard power torque was 316/330. Im running about 380/433 now and have flat foot gear shift so should be at least 0.5 secs quicker i would have thought?

 

According to http://www.torquestats.com/:-

Power to Weight: 258 bhp/ton
0-60: 4.4
0-100: 10.5
60-100: 6.1
1/4 Mile ET: 12.65
1/4 Mile Terminal: 111
Dragstrip 1/4 Mile ET: 12.30
Dragstrip 1/4 Mile Terminal: 114

 

Sound fair enough Probably a fair bit slower than that with me behind the wheel

 

12.3 quarter with 258bhp per ton

Not a chance.

 

Come on then. State your case? sounds about right to me from other cars with similar spec at the pod ive seen.

 

ive no clue on the 0-60 time on my car, but i do have the slips which tell me 0-60ft of 1.8, quarter mile of 13.1.... any good? as i have no idea?

 

The problem with 0-60 times is twofold.
First off, you get idiots like TopGear who now quote 0-62 because that's 0-100kph and the rest of Europe do it.

But the main problem is accuracy.

First off, how are you measuring the speed? Unless it's with a calibrated speedo, or electronically, forget it.

Secondly, how are you timing it? Stopwatch? Let's say that average human reaction time is 0.18 seconds.

So......suppose you are 0.18 seconds late starting, and 0.18 seconds early stopping the clock, that's 0.36 seconds.

And when you get down to the 4 seconds mark, that's a 9% error..not acceptable.

So 0-60 times are a bit inaccurate.

 

sooner see 60-100 times myself, a lot easier on the car and more "everyday"

 

And even more open to inaccuracies.

 

if thats refering to me, give us a clue then?

 

I think 0-100 mph is a better indication of a cars acceleration performance than 0-60.

 

but driver error can be involved, as in 0-60

 

well to get a real world time you would do several runs and take the average. For boasting you would do several runs and pick the fastest.

 

what i meant was you can miss gears, bog down on these 0-whatever, 60-100 is rolling so takes out the launching equation

 

I did take into consideration peoples guesstamates, hence the question of how are you timing it.

The main reason why i'm asking for 0 -60 is because of what i've stated in the original thread about being A2B and what you can actually do on the road legally.

I'm chuffed with the replies so far though

 

Yeah but 60-100 is mid-range times not acceleration time. Sure from 0 to what ever you could miss a gear or ***** up the launch which is whay you do several runs rather than take the data from a single test run.

 

sounds a lot of work to get the figures when i can just boot it each to their own though

 

1st attempt
0-30: 2.00 seconds
0-60: 5.06 seconds

max accel gfofce: 1.21

using g-tac on the old iphone

 

The speedo is inaccurate enough at 60mph, trying to start a stopwatch as it PASSES 60mph, then stop it accurately as it PASSES 100 mph, where it's likely wildly inaccurate anyway....well, you do the maths.

 

you are correct thats why i use a racelogic performance box no need to do the maths!
