0-60?

[TripleJay]

hmm, if its off ECU, i wonder what would it show i.e. on ice with ESP/TC off, wheels are spininig, rpm are rising, you can achieve theoretical speed while still standing :mrgreen:

 

[Alex_225]

It's not to say all models are faster than their printed figures but thee official performance often varies.

You know the Mk5 Fiesta Zetec-s? That wasn't a quick car on paper but loads of owners found they were quicker than book figures.

As above, it's all marketing really. They'd never want a 133 keeping up with a Clio 200 for example yet I bet on the right road from a standing start it woudnt be far off. unfortunately the Clio 200/182/172 tended to never make their official power figures. The RS Megane's on the other hand do.

Ive had 7.4 and 7.2 out of mine but that was a few attempts

 

[Dubz]

I got a strong 9.02 seconds for my 1.2 i-music

 

[holliedynamique]

As above I get much better 0-62 readings in my Dynamique, so the RS has to be quicker than 8.7 if we r getting in the 9 seconds with 75hp twingos!

 

[Jay4]

The 1.2's are nippy mind

 

[maggi200]

1.2s are quicker than a Gt though?

 

[singlespeed]

1.2s are quicker than a Gt though?

Oh no. Not again :shock:

 

[maggi200]

Hehe I love a bit of controversy me...

But a basic 1.2 a second quicker or so than quoted gt times seems optimistic to me? But... Anything is possible I guess. And if the app is working as it should then I see no problem taking an approximated time from it

Anyone wanna take 1.2 vs gt vs rs ? :lol:

 

[MovingShadow]

Wish there were was an easy way to take times.

Renault says its 10,50 sec for my car but I can beat that, definatly.

Curious with the results when I do the second re-map.

There is no way a 1.2 is quicker than my GT! I refuse to believe this, 3 way drag race to 62 is in order to settle this finally.

 

[MovingShadow]

We should arrange a trackday on the Nurburgring/ Brands Hatch to find this out :twisted:

Bin there done that and lost miserably. 1.2=SLOW!!!!

 

[maggi200]

Thanks for being honest x

 

[holliedynamique]

It also depends on how good the person is at changing gear cos that can knock seconds off a time, there's a lot of factors in it but I believe the RS is quicker than 8.7 secs after being in one

 

[manofhow]

there are so many factors though, how much fuel (weight ) in the car, if the raods dead straight , up or down hill.


but its still fun to get the lowest number u can, (u just dont mention u had no fuel in it and was going down a 1 in 20 gradient)

 

[Bones]

A lot of cars have inaccurate 0-60 times to be honest. They're marketed to get into a certain class and insurance category too!

That said if we're finding the Twingo 133 about a second quicker, no doubt the RS Clio and Megane guys find the same.

I can remember people on Meganesport.net finding they could outperform the book figures.

I could defo beat the quoted 0-62 time for mine....

Some guy just pulls figures out the air I'm sure of it! :lol:

lets get like 6 seconds then

 

[Dubz]

Oh yeah I'm guessing I didn't mention that I was on a slight hill I did have a full tank aswell. When I get my car back I'll gegt the fuel down to the redline and post another time on the same hill.

Not a chance. Fastest I've recorded in my Clio is 7.1 (in built RS monitor).
