In Gear times- 172/cup/182/182cup

[Klang1.6]

just a little experiment, i wanted to see how my 172 cup was running, so i timed a 60 - 80 MPH in 3rd Gear and got 4.2 sec is this right, anyone eles want to do this any one welcome, but say if you have any modifications.



oh: pls do this only when conditions are safe to do so,

no one trying it then?

 

[Floodie]

mines just over 2 secs

 

[Klang1.6]

2 secs?!! are u sure? depends what car though-- are you counting or did u use a stop watch

 

[Munson]

I did it in 1.3 seconds










LOL - I dont fancy accelerating to 80mph whilst looking at the speedo rather than the road

 

[rcp]

just a slightly different question - does anyone know the maximum speed in gears for the 182?

 

[Floodie]

sorry i meant 0.2 secs

Hehe - naa just kidding fella.. just adding a reply as you were looking for it and no one had replied... ill give mine a little look when i get it back...
