0-60mph times

Post by morrisman1 »

go out there and blast the cobwebs out of the old girl, show us how much boogie she has!

Post your 0-60 mph time, along with the specs of your car (engine, final drive ratio, any mods etc)

if you have a rev counter then be super accurate(ish) and use http://www.locost7.info/gearcalc.php to calculate your rpm in top gear at 60mph.

just to save you some time, heres some common rpms:
standard tyres, 4.55:1 diff - 3957rpm
standard tyres, 4.22:1 diff - 3670rpm
175/70r13 tyres, 4.55 diff - 4197rpm
175/70r13 tyres, 4.22 diff - 3892rpm

This week a 7.5 secs.

better will come with bigger tyres and warmer weather. 175's on cold tarmac don't make for a lot of grip when the boost comes in.

currently 1293cc, 10psi boost, type 9 box, esc axle.

I am hoping for sub 6 seconds when all done!

Oh and that's for the 1380cc car in case you were wondering. :lol:
