cje001 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Worked for me a while back but not today, my 2p is that this is a relevant test as it removes a lot of driver interaction and therefore pure focus on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Can someone explain to me exactly what driving discipline the 60-130mph time is relevant to? Surely in drag racing the 60ft time is far more important? I can see why it would be popular in Germany, or the huge road racing scene in the US, but fail to see exactly what it proves here in the UK? The only thing I can see this site doing is encouraging people to go almost twice the speed limit on UK roads, as let's face it, the majority of people won't be doing this on the track. I'm not trying to have a go, I'd just really like to know the OPs reasons behind his chosen peramiters and what his website sets out to achieve. Im guessing the OP is either American or German?

Highway rolls, put 60-130 in youtube and there is lots of videos. Twinturbom3 don't live in the uk.

I thought as much, I'm yet to see a TT m3 over here I'm not going to judge people doing highway rolls over here, I've done it myself a fair few times. There just isn't the same following for it over here, which makes me question it's relevance. TBH I don't think it's something that wants to be encouraged in the competitive sense in the uk, due to many people with fast cars (not Supras imparticular) who skimp on good tyres.

fuldhat Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 In Europe, its quite common to compare 70-160 Kph. If you look at a bit older tests of perfomance cars in EU, then you will see this infomation. Its good measure, since it tells how fast the car is, and not how good you are to get off the line and to get traction ect. This test is all about the car it self, and then of cause 1 or 2 gear changes, depending on what car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoooby slayer Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 60 - 130 mph in 6.608 seconds i could loose the 2nd to 3rd gear change aswell and reduce that to about 6.1 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoooby slayer Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) A stock Nissan GT-R does 60-130 mph in 3.85 secs for comparisons sake. Based on that it seems a very respectable time. Would be interested to see what JamieP's car does this in. I would have thought it would be similar. It's a tough time to beat from what I can see on the net. What's you M3 spec? Bhp and torque. Do you have a dyno plot? lol your miles out with the gtr buddy 3.85 seconds lol stock r35 gtr 60 - 130 mph takes 10 seconds.

mwilkinson Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Scooby slayer is correct. 60-130 mph in 10 secs. I was on my iphone looking at google title links. I have now read the link and it actually relates to a Switzer R1K compared to a 2009 GT-R. http://www.2009gtr.com/2010/11/385-seconds-60-130-mph-switzer-r1k.html Edited May 25, 2011 by mwilkinson (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 thats quick jamie but look at his gearchanges, lightning quick, i hope to get near that with some practice. I am pretty sure that is because it is also an autobox\mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 That gtr autobox is a good part of why it's so quick, I'd still rather a manual one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Mine does it in 7seconds according to a speedo video i did a few years back from 55mph-160mph, my speedo is no doubt a little out at higher speeds though.
