60 - 100mph times

[phil6180]

Just curious to see if anyone has tried timing from 60 to 100mph.

Had a go earlier on our local unused runway and got 9.7secs, probably not amazingly accurate though!

 

[Martin]

Ill have a go later.

 

[Valver'o'Death]

What from startin at 60 in third yeah?

 

[Martin]

Or running through from 2nd, might have more momentum than sitting in 3rd?

 

[phil6180]

I did from 60mph in 3rd starting.

 

[Martin]

OK, would be interesting to get some comparisons, will post mine later.

 

[Saxo Boy]

I got 7.5s But that was in my scooby when modifed! My pug 406 V6 is putting out 11s dead from indicated 58-103mph

 

[Martin]

Ok, seem to average at 8.8 ish and yes I was that bored!

 

[phil6180]

maybe I should go and do some more to get an average.

How many goes did you have?

 

[Martin]

I did five, best was 8.44 worst 9.09. Seems pretty quick, Im trying to work out how the williams takes 20.8 to do 0-100??!

[phil6180]

what mods have you got?

thats like 15secs 0 - 100mph

 

[Martin]

A few, mainly stripped out interior and usual breathing mods. Not bad just need some cams/headwork etc now. If I can find some money......

 

[dave20vt]

i am very doubtful about the 8-9 sec times for 60 -100 for you guys, my fiat coupe 20vt, has book times of 8, 8.5 secs, so i think the timing method and speedo miss reading at 100 etc, might be where the problems lay.

 

[S2 PTH]

i dunno... clean16vs 40-100 was v quick.

mind u, were u raggin it from 0-100 and timing it from 60-100? or were u sitting at 60 and then gunning the throttle in 3rd?

coz the latter wud b alot slower.

Dave remember I managed to terminal at 98 mph after doing a 2.6 60 ft, is that not the same terminal speed as you were getting with better starts? Thats on a Cup with exhaust mods and a chip (no IK) so maybe Martins is that quick as 2.0 valvers with similar mods as his are pretty much the same as mine on the 1/4 mile.

 

[richy]

i will try this tomorro after work private test track of course

 

[dave20vt]

Neil - i was doing 2.4 60ft, and 99.5sec terminal speed, 14.5 1/4 time.

60 - 100, would need 1 gear change to get over 100 for the clios?

and lower torque, would affect its 60 - 100 time compared to the coop, which has the high torque, no gear for ton stuff, does 110 3rd gear rev limter.

talking of top speeds in gear, iam getting a volvo s60 t5 for work and looking up details and worked out the volvo can do 118mph in 3rd gear, and a test drive confirms this!, what a great overtaking tool !

how do you think you would fair againest the tank?, when i get it, i will bring it to crail

dave

 

[Neil82]

So the coupes 60-100 is flattered by the fact it doesnt need any gear changes to go from 60-100, interesting... same goes for 1/4 mile. Do you know the 0-90 of a Coupe?

 

[dave20vt]

0-90 is 11.9secs for coop

 

[Martin]

Timing with a stopwatch is never 100% accurate but I did it five times to get an average result. Im confident my car will do 60-100 in around 9 secs dead all day. Even if I did 65-105 on the clock (to compensate for speedo error) the result wouldnt be that much different.

As a comparison I went to a meet where there was a R32 Golf and 190 bhp 172. My car was very similar in performance to those two cars, which was good.

 

[chowy]

Autocar recorded

172 60-100 in 10.6s

172 cup 60-100 in 10.4s

 

[phil6180]

Yes but we were holding the car at 60mph then accelerating and timing it from 60mph to 100mph...

that 9.7secs was marginally uphill aswell...........interesting.

 

[Martin]

Cup/172 owners??

 

[richy]

ok i did this today , used my stopwatch on phone and got 9.67 ok its not excatly accurate but gives me a idea

 

[phil6180]

Going to have another go today...where is you private runway richy?

Also is your Williams standard?

 

[richy]

err its the A1M lol, yes virtually standard just got a devil straight thorugh system thats it, and as i said its with my stopwatch on my phone which isnt likely to be accurate lol or my timing

 

[172mgw]

hey how can that b your private runway?its my private runway too!

 

[richy]

lol but the south side is mine urs is north !! i like the M18 too heading towards the m62

 

[Graham Gooch]

rev3 mr2 turbo is 7.5 60-100 stock

 

[richy]

ok done a couple more runs , got 9.84 and 10.2

 

[Martin]

Seems good for standard, looks like you could do a 0-100 in less than 20.8 any way. Seems like they had a learner driver doing the testing when they came up with that time!

 

[richy]

ROTFLMAO^^^^^^

they must of had a learner lol i reckon were looking at 18sec to 100 but thats just a guess!

 

[172mgw]

ok richy, but it does include that road from junc6 of the m18, which goes from thorne to snaith, in my bit!

 

[richy]

lol ok u can have that, i know which one u mean! a614 i think it is?

theres some great roads to drive on the outskirts of donny

 

[172mgw]

yeah, thats the one that has them 2 metal bridges, about 3 mile from snaith, that i usually go over at 80 odd!

 

[richy]

lol i do remember them !!

 

[172mgw]

yep, from the bridge,turn left, and theres miles of country lanes to go hairing down, as u said m8!

 

[richy]

hehe i havent been up there in the williams yet, been bombing about the lanes down high melton/marr way all that area some high speed corners there

 

[172mgw]

i know i know, u should come with us next time we have a meet in beverley, bit like bombing round the lanes of donny, but at warp speed and im sure u would enjoy it, and u would b made welcome!

 

[richy]

cool i will have too m8 would be fun , love playing in williams handles sweet as shame its got w**k tyres on it!!
