    The most accurate way is to load the video up in movie maker or something similar, and then you can go through it frame by frame with the exact time.

    Its difficult to concentrate with that pine wood dash you have lol

    (the needle on the boost gauge does go miles off the end though!)

    Most accurate way is to plot out the fastest time/speed plot from a run down the drag strip - work out your 0 to 60 time & then work out the 0 - 100 time and take the 2 away from each other. Speedo it too unreliable and difficult to determine exactly when a speed was achieved.

    9-10 seconds seems about right for a standard one, my 540 was just over 8.

    A standard R must be quicker than that, a standard C70 T5 is 6.9, a standard Cougar is 8.1.
