Surprising!! Clio 182 with 130k 0-60 time verified by GPS (Dragy)

[MrCube182]

Just had a chance to test the 0-60 time of my 2004 Clio 182 using a Dragy - very accurate 10Hz GPS and GLONASS comparable to Vbox.

0-60 time was 6.47 secs..not bad for a 15 year old car with 130k on the clock!

The only mods that would affect the time are a "98RON" map from RSTuner and I removed the rear seats. Oh and an ITG panel filter. Very pleasantly surprised considering the official figure is 6.9 sec (or maybe 7.1?).

 

[MrCube182]

If I find a straight (and quiet) stretch of road WITHOUT a positive incline I reckon I could get it to 6.2...lol!

How do you know this is accurate thou most of these apps are a bit hit and miss are they not?
What else have you tried it on?

Dragy is a small GPS device (around £130) - guys on BMW forums have compared it with VBox and drag strip timing gear. On the specs it's accurate to 1/100 sec

Great result! I've been meaning to try mine too but I only have the torque app and a bluetooth odb device. On my old silver cup I recorded 7.1-7.3 0-60 on a few attempts but it was a 100% standard car with ditchfinder tyres on a country lane.

The trouble I had was finding somewhere to do a few runs away from any other cars and without attracting unwanted attention.

Lightened Clio 182 with remap knocks half a second off the standard 0-60 time ?

 

[MrCube182]

Adrian Flux just sent me a random email about Remaps and saying "We can declare all legal modifications" haha. They clearly monitor the forums closely so watch out!...not to worry declared the recent mods now!

I've just had the same email. Just says they can insure all road legal modifications

Watch out James!

Draggy gps and app is just as accurate as vBox. I use my draggy all the time

Wonder what the 100-200kmh time of a 182 is

Such a cool little tool. What do you use it for mostly, track videos with overlay?

 

[Scrooge]

100-200kmh, 0-100mph, standing mile, 1/2 mile and 1/4 mile

 

[RIC172]

My attempt earlier. I used torque pro with an ELM327 adapter so probably not 100% accurate lol

 

[MrCube182]

Scarily similar to my 6.47! Would be curious to see what it is using GPS

Yeah strange right?! It was my one and only attempt and traction control kicked in slightly but was very happy with that anyway. Later tried a 40-60mph test and recorded 2.5 seconds in 2nd gear. Would be interested to know what yours does for comparison?

 

[MrCube182]

Mine is 2.50 secs 40-60 based on the Dragy figures - is your 172 remapped?

 

[RIC172]

Yep rs tuner. Only other mods are power flow exhaust and fatty intake.

That’s great consistency! Hopefully the torque app isn’t inaccurate after all

 

[MrCube182]

Mine is a 182 so should be slightly quicker though, no? The best thing about the remap is the increased rev limiter to 7800, so you can hit 60mph at the top of second gear. Will do a few more runs to see if I can nail the launch rpm

The 182 is more powerful but perhaps a tad heavier, so fairly similar overall. I have an aircon delete so is slightly lighter than a standard 172. I still have a full interior, spare wheel and tools though. Would definitely be interested in seeing more figures to compare with.

 

[MrCube182]

The performance figures via Torque would be dead on accurate for the 40-60 where the tyres are gripping since it goes by speed reported by the ECU, not sure how it would work where the wheels are spinning up? Although it would measure from the moment the wheel speed sensors show above 0 so could be really accurate..

 

[MrCube182]

Tyre wear and inflation would play a role

 

[RIC172]

Yeah there’s lots to factor in. My tyres are Pilot Sport 3, 8mm of tread and 32ish psi. I’d love to know what figures it would get with something more accurate like Dragy or Vbox, but Torque is fun nevertheless

 

[hipwell]

172 cup has the quickest book time out of the lot didn't it?

 

[RIC172]

Yeah I believe so. It’s the lightest out of all of them

 

[davo172]

100-200kmh, 0-100mph, standing mile, 1/2 mile and 1/4 mile

What car? what are the times ?

 

[MrCube182]

According to Parkers 172 Cup is 6.7 and 182 (and 182 cup) is 6.9

 

[hipwell]

Thought so.

Considerably lighter and less rotating mass on the aux setup.

In the real world though, I don't think you'll notice the difference.

Yeah I’m not sure what the manufacturers figures are but Evo magazine even tested the 172 cup at 6.5 seconds 0-60.

I agree there’s little in it with any of the 172/182 variants though

I'm really curious about the difference between Fastchip flashed ECU and standard for 0-60 since me and Cup172rich both have it

These are the published figures

My old E55,

7.1s 100-200kmh
7.8s 0-100mph
179moh in the standing mile
124mph and 11.2 1/4 mile

Really puts it into perspective when my car does 0-60 in 22 seconds with 3 of us in it.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Got my Dragy coming soon looking forward to playing around with it. See what the Rusty Cup is capable of.

Nice! If you figure out the best Rpm for your launch I'd like to know it

Did you disable traction control for 0-60? Will try and do another run soon as last time I felt the tc stutter before it accelerated

 

[Amos91]

TC off. Warm tyres, 3k rpm and drop it worked pretty well for me.
