80406, How Are The 0-60 Times With Your Turbo Setup
Posted by EclipseTenzoR, Dec-13-04 03:34 PM
Curious on what your 0-60 times are with your turbo setup. Please note whether you are an automatic or a 5-speed, and if these times are proven accurate or estimated to your best knowledge.

It would be interesting if some people who were turbo'd could find out. Because stock we do 0-60 in what like 8 seconds? Curious to know how much is knocked off when a turbo is added.

Having an auto sucks, because my 0-60mph is around 10 seconds... or maybe my car is just extra slow. But I'm not turbo.

WHy does it matter? 0-60 is a completely arbitrary measure of performance propagated by the manufacturer.

There is no accurate way to measure this anyway, not available to us anyway.

isnt that odd...it so happens that the day i ran at the track while boosted they had the equipment there that measures stuff like that...

my very first run which was 14.94@97.xx my 0-60 was 6.12

on my fastest run of 14.50@98.38 my 0-60 was 5.88...

that gives a very general idea...

I don't see how that's possible, but whatever. I'll take your word for it.

I thought they had to hook up a 5th wheel on the side of your car (a small bicycle wheel thing) that hooks up to a computer to read the 0-60...??

You can just stopwatch the car, but it isn't accurate by any means.

I've never been to a track where they test 0-60? They must use radar or some kind?

yes, its an instrument that looks almost exactly like a radar gun...
