actual 0-60 book time (172 ph1)

[Leeph1]

what is the est book time?

seen everyting from 6.8 to 7.5, just curious really

 

[gazcaddy]

Not sure on the ph1 but the ph2 was 0-62 in 7.2.

A well driven one should hit 60 in the mid to high 6's

 

[E-ray_172]

Evo did 6.6 if i remember correctly.

not sure what the manufacturer claimed when it first came out tho.

 

[Craig.]

Best time ive done in my ph1 is 6.5, thought standard was about 7

whats mods you done to succeed that mate? plus where you got your timing done?

 

[Craig.]

Just a magnex cat back exhaust and a viper (now removed) the timing gear was a company that always go to the ford events at Croft race track, i done 4 runs and got 6.5/6.5/6.6/7.3

Lee, the book time is exactly what you've already read, there is no one time as there are too many variables.

The lowest I've seen quoted is 6.5, the highest is 8.2.

Different cars, different drivers, different track, different weather etc etc.

A healthy car with a talented driver in dry conditions would average around 7secs to 60 and 18secs to 100.

 

[alexst]

isnt phase 1 6.8
and phase 2 7.2

both as standard??

 

[alexst]

0-62 mph that is...

must say the 197 doesnt seem to slow in that site.

 

[tommyboy]

6.7

 

[tommyboy]

Aint 197 like 5 million years to 60?

 

[Steve2004]

I've managed a 6.28 on my gtech pro heh. Standard car.

I always thought the book 0-60 for a ph1 was 6.6? (6.8/6.9 0-62?).

 

[sh33n]

For the 182: 7.1s

[clidge]

are those g tec things you plug in your cig lighter a good cheap recorded for the 0-60 times i may get one and have a play cheers

 

[Graham Gooch]

letstorquebhp are pretty accurate

it takes those times from its performance calculator not book figures!

although its performance calculator is pretty accurate

and i dont see why a 197 with 20-30k under its belt could muster those figures,

have to remember it would have to make the actual power though!

does it take aerodyanmics into account when calculating numbers.

if both Car A and Car B had same powers/weight etc but car A had the worse ever aerodyanmic body shape then Car B would be quicker. does this site fail on those grounds.

 

[Lagerlout]

Doesn't account for gear ratios either.

 

[Graham Gooch]

its only to give an idea anyway! lol

shouldnt take the figures quite so seriously

 

[Lagerlout]

What?!! 0-60 is my life man!!

 

[Graham Gooch]

What?!! 0-60 is my life man!!

nah its all about the 50-70 and the .5 differences between a car length per second

 

[E-ray_172]

nah more like 30 to 70 i reckon

 

[Graham Gooch]

60-100 lol

 

[E-ray_172]

lol could be one of these endless threads.

40-80 is a good one to.
