video timer doesn't work, but the book 0-60 is about 7-7.1 so anything quicker than that is an improvement. I got 0-60 of 5.7 with a MBC & decat

[Yorkshiresxi]

hmmmm decat next then....its about 6.5/6.6 sec as the moment running everything standard baring MBC.
Will get vac pipes done and the 16T fitted and see were i am at then

6.5 if very good when you think the age of the car & the book speed would of been done in perfect conditions with a professional driver

Ok, being completely dense now, which bit of the 1/4 mile time is the first 8th...?

[Flatout Phil]

0-60 is a vulgarity for those with lesser cars. Now 50-100, that is a measure...or if off the strip, 50-70

on the timing slip the 1/8mile is the first time down the list thats also got a speed with it

5.57 seconds 1st run

5.36 seconds 2nd run

I think that's pretty respectable time for an auto and a nice improvement from standard

[Yorkshiresxi]

50 - 100 ;-) ok i have a long private road..so its raining now so its a no go, but tomorrow when its dry i will return.

I think using the timing slips for 0-60mph are floored.

I'll use yours as an example.
If your car is doing 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds then (going by the 1/4mile time and speed) its taking around 9secs to go from 60-100mph, which isn't very impressive, considering its power.

I know that this also has its floors, but i would imagine that if you were to take it out and record it, i'd expect it to have a very low 6s, 0-60,and take at most 8s, 60-100.

Oh I know that it's all a good laugh though, just as bad as using a stop watch and the cars speedo for 0-60 and calling it accurate.. lol

That man speak's the truth, it's a floored formula that i compared to actual time slips taken at York Raceway where in the r/h lane you get the 0-60 time not the 1/8mile time and on average it was about 0.5 sec out, 855 auto was 6.1 best.

0-60 on my Bluebird was timed at Trax at 6.2 seconds, And is probably a bit quicker than the Volvo due to weight differences. Volvo would leave it for dust after about 130 though, Although I had it off the clock at 150 and still pulling

[Rnash2002]

That calculater is way off,said i did a 4.7 in my old volvo at avon lol
