miko_supra Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 cant use a speedo to calculate 0-60! especially on mine its showing about 72mph when im actually doing 60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILKYSMOOTH Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 no, just going back to the old inaccurate speedo, wobbly camera type argument. Only definatlive proof in my eyes is the drag strip. They dont lie (im not suggesting that you are lying, far from it, and i know my previous posts are a bit sarcastic so dont take it that way), but its not exactly scientific is it, a wobbly shot of the speedo. If i get the chance I will get a better vid and a definitive one, seriously, I don't take offence so that doesn't bother me. Most people who disputed it are eating their words right now. as I say I'm not the one to brag/blag either. I just know that my N/A is quicker than 7 seconds.

Lbm Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Just out of curiosity what time did you lot think a NA would be round? About half past four? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I can't beleive this thread is still going. I though it was generally accepted by pretty much everyone that 0-60 for a TT is 5ish and an N/A 7ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I always assumed that out of the factory pulling with 225 at the fly, the N/A would be just a shade over 7 seconds. Over time and little losses (for example, 215 at the fly) I'd expect mid 7s on a goooooooood run. TT's I always was under the impression (again the running with 'full' power of 325 @ fly) were 4.9 - 5.2? As for this argument, without proper timing gear then I'm sticking with what my thoughts currently are But what do I know? As my title says, I'm just a newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried too time my 0-60 again last night but I just kept spinning so I counted how many times I spun lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Infact i'm going to do a 0-60 vid in my DC5 integra tomorrow, apparently that does 0-60 in 5.9 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supradriver Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 just so you can see where 60 is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Speedo's aren't always calibrated that accurately though are they? No you are right this is true but where I live I have those inferred speed indicating sighs that tell you your speed and that with sat nav I can pretty much say my speedo is accurate My speedo, much like everyone else's is about 10% too high, my GPS camera tracker (Snooper S6 Neo - tracked by 4 satellites) shows that. Always handy to be shown under speed than over. Hence why speed cameras have a 10% breathing room (lost ability to use words:search:, you know what I mean..)

SILKYSMOOTH Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 cant use a speedo to calculate 0-60! especially on mine its showing about 72mph when im actually doing 60 Miko, when I'm rolling at the same speed as another car and the speedos are the same, they both can't be wrong surely. I understand your point but in this case it's not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razza Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 use a GPS system, not your speedo, not doubting what you're showing, just don't think it matches what your actual speed will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
