0-60mph times

[Munson]

I thought Clios reved to 18k. Boost FTL IIRC?

Mind you mine always felt like it was about to explode at 6.5k

I certainly wouldn't have wanted a raised limiter in mine! Although saying that, my old man nearly killed it on track. Braked into a chicane and somehow ended up selecting 2nd gear at 80+mph. I instinctively knew he had, and screamed at him not to release the clutch. Luckily he didn't. PMSL no limiter would have saved that. Bits of Clio everywhere.

if ya want 0-60 go to santa pod , if ya wanna drive corners use a clio,

 

[Munson]

Nothing beats the mighty Clio in the twisties!

 

[silvercup172]

or the curlys lol

Last time i pushed on in the twisties i got pretty bad valve bounce but a dab of oppo soon kept the welds on the intake form blowing.

santa pod doesnt record 0-60's

Old debate. Renault call it the ''optimal shift light'' iirc
The limiter is to protect the engine, not the light

Sounds like a 'shift up light'. I stand corrected

 

[wezzel98765]

I set the start and end points by going frame by frame: http://ccgi.pendulum.plus.com/mov.wmv
It takes 7.09 seconds from when the speedo needle moves to when it gets to an indicated 60mph on the speedo, from the perspective of the camera.

We all know speedo's tend to overread, lets say 64mph on the speedo is a true 60mph road speed.

That adds a genuine 1.12 seconds to the time.

So we're at 8.21 seconds now... the book time is 8.4? Now consider in the video, the needle will appear further around the dial than it would to you in the driver's seat because the camera's mounted slightly to the side and further down...

Personally I think that video you posted shows a 0-60 of about book time, give or take a 200 or 300 milliseconds either way.

Incorrect, my sat nav both on my phone and my tom tom both say that @ 62mph on the dash, I'm doing 60mph

Also, I've done timed 0-60s using an obd2 tool and it has recorded consistently low to mid 7s (when my car worked)

Optimum gear change indicator i think you'll find

 

[shanks]

pointless thread

 

[silvercup172]

yeah but its a straight line quater . a clio is for curves and wheel lift peeing round the bends how good;

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

When your racing for slips it dont matter how many curves there are!! winning is winning!!

 

[Gally]

Depends...the Puma, it does 0-60 in what, 4.3 seconds? Bro.

Not actually sure. Some one told me it was 7.9 to 60. I told him I didn't care and showed him some Pembrey lap times.

Roy remember 'that' thread? I think you were right.

Who cares? It's a Peugeot 207 ffs.

 

[silvercup172]

mine probably done 10 secs 0-60 to le mans 3 adults luggage case s of beer it looked well low

What and a Peugeot 207 is worse than a Renault Clio?

i've had both... both shoddy quality

 

[silvercup172]

maybe 5 hours plus boat from newhaven but worth it

I didn't mention build quality.

Just like this thread and everything in it, all completely pointless.

Not sure which thread you mean. Could be one of hundreds. You don't get a post count like this without talking a great deal of s**t.

 

[Gally]

Flol!

It was a top fishing thread to be fair. This thread just reinforces your point.. that you can't remember making.

Right.

 

[Munson]

No. I really can't remember which thread.

That one?

 

[Matthew]

There is no way a 207 is doing a sub 7 second time to 60, sorry mate - just no.

Worst thread for a while, who does 0-60, unless its to get away from the drive through without paying on a wet wednesday night?

Yeah that was a funny thread. It wasn't fishing though.

What about with NOS?

Roy, I'm currently running a Pug myself and can safely say, it would explode....

You've just made my day!

parkers rate the 207 gti @ 6.9 seconds
http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/summary.aspx?model=1532

Why's it so hard to believe? Much more torque than a RS Clio.

Simple remap will bring the 207 GTI down to 6 seconds!

Let me guess, you think that the new Polo GTI won't do 0-60 in under 7 seconds? Wrong again... they do it in around 6.5 seconds ... I've seen it done. Even better, they can hit 5 seconds flat with just a simple remap.... from a 1.4!! ... Search youtube for evidence if you need it, you need to open your eyes mate

 

[realnumber 1]

0-60 time for a Peugeot 207 GT THP 150 is 8.4 seconds... I've VIDEOED a standard 0-60 time of approx 6.8 seconds (no it wasn't downhill)... therefore I totally believe it!

Do you see where you've gone wrong there?

GTI might be sub 7 sec but not a 150 bhp GT or whatever it is lol. Not that 0-60 times mean s**t though....

 

[Matthew]

Wow made your day? Brilliant.

Who's taking about VW Polos? Who's talking about the GTI?

Pretty sure youve been banging on about your 207, which correct me if I'm wrong isn't the GTI?

I had a Fiesta 1.0 years ago, it wouldn't do 130mhp just because the ST can...

FFS mongs. Now I know why the "idiots" thread exists.

 

[wezzel98765]

"There is no way a 207 is doing a sub 7 second time to 60, sorry mate - just no."

You've generalized the 207 ... therefore including the GTI...

Regards to the Polo ... this is 0-60 thread on all cars is it not?

In Clio discussion...?

Because I am the first one to mention a car in this thread other than a Clio ... :race:

Yeah but you suggested that a 207 GT thing could do it in under 7 sec which is just pish...

Even with a remap? (taking it to a max of 194bhp)

FLOL with a remap it would no longer be a 150 would it!! And if yours has a remap don't you think you should've mentioned that rather huge point lol

 

[Gaz.]

My car can do 60-100 quicker than a Clio can do 0-60. True story.

I dare say we can both be off the clock before a Clio is out of 4th gear.

 

[wezzel98765]

No it doesn't have a remap.

But, you're saying that a GT THP 150 won't do it in sub 7 seconds... mods were mentioned on other cars in this thread, so I thought I would too

Yes it would still be called a GT THP 150 (that's its name :evil .... a Clio 172 doesn't change to a Clio 162 or whatever just because that's the bhp it comes with.

 

[Reecey]

my 0-60 is 3.9 seconds in my 197.....recorded 'in my dreams'...

 

[Matthew]

Ok let's simplify it for you; you claimed your 207 GT will do 60 in under 7 seconds. That is utter drivel, even with videos showing otherwise.

No-one claimed it wouldn't if it had been mapped, as mapping never came into the discussion FFS

Who gives a toss about the Polo GTI?

I'm out.

 

[realnumber 1]

No it doesn't have a remap.

Then I think I can safely say that yours WILL NOT do 60 in under 7 secs then. The end..
