Whats your 0-60 times ?
Ok what do you think the fastest 0-60 you can get in a 7 is ? I’ve seen so many figures quoted that I don’t believe, what do you get in yours?
I’ll start with mine
5.8 seconds 0-60 recorded on my gps phone app, 150(ish) bhp 1.8 turbo Indy

i snapped a drive shaft last time i did a standing start so im not trying it again untill i get the half shafts reinforced. That happened about 36
before leaving for nurburgring! I would guess mid 5sec. 150 bhp 4age raw striker
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

Thats about as reliable as someone sitting next to you with a stopwatch!
IF you want a cheap way to test, get to TRAX show on 5th Sept and they will use top end test gear.

Under 3 for the R4, depends on the road surface as to how much under...

4.5 on a Race technology meter. 
Not been able to get the power down like it since. Total fluke of warm tyres, freshly laid road and running on fumes Haven't got it under
4.8 since.

Best I can prove is 0-91.78mph in 7.736 seconds, that was with the Indy2000
I reckon the 1600 sr2 should be good for an equivelant in about 15 seconds or so

i have heard that Duncan's Hayabusa Turbo can do it in just over 3 seconds.
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

With the speed humps, bumps, camera's and traffic chicanes round here there's no chance of even getting upto 60 anymore!
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

That's not accurate. I did trax in 2002 in my FTO and got this: -
It told me my 0-60 was 7.1 seconds but didn't start counting time until I was doing about 7mph!

Wow, that's one hell of a time, how have you measured it? How is the R4 geared?
I don't think I can achieve that time in my race car with slicks and it only weighs 326kgs (wet without my lardy ass in the seat!).
My car is (only) blade powered but with less mass than a car (even an R4  ) and two 7 inch slicks, 12T front sprocket and 36T rear, I doubt I do a
sub 4 second 0-60!
I'm amazed by your minimum sub 3 second time! I think I would need 'the perfect storm' conditions to get near that time! What do
you think you could do on a grippy drag strip with some sticky slicks? Got to be worth another chunk of time! do you think that would shave a second
off or am I too optimistic? Theoretically you would probably be in the late 1's early 2's as your sub 3 at present!
Hats off to you!
Interesting thread this!

4.9 sec on my data logger on the 3rd attemp. Then decided to give up as I was going to damage either the gearbox or rear diff.
that was on a slight uphill run.
Main problem was avoiding the rear whell spin, and not changing gear!

Hi
Our LA Golds when setup right with the anti-squat do 0-60 in 2.7s and the 64Ft in 1.9s on list 1A tyres. That's as recorded by Gordon Hick in
his welsh sprint championship car. Although anyone who saw the LA Gold on A048's at Brands hatch a few months ago will know that those figures
where obliterated on that start.
The good old live axle and a bit of anti-squat. 
Cheers Matt

Yowser,
That's impressive.
Is that with a special box?
I timed a run once and spent nearly 1 second changing gear....

Hi
Not that special. Just using a Quaife type 9 or 4 speed cant think whats in what car. But usually running a 2.04 first gear. So 60 mph is in first
gear depending of diff ratio.

it's something everyone thinks about but whats the most accurate locost way of measuring it?
Think my best 64ft time with this engine is about 2.4 secs and that's on 3 year old tyres if i can master the wheel spin i recon i'll get
2 or 2.1 but i have no way of measuring the 0-60.
Andy
Perfect planning prevents pi$$ poor performance!
