Hi everyone.

just curious about what your average 0-100kmh is?

so if you want to, tell us in this format (or something similar)....

model:
engine / engine mods:
transmission:
km's:
people in the car at the time:
full/empty fuel:
time:

here is mine...
Te 3.0l
cai and cam adjustment.

3 people including driver
3/4 tank of fuel
8.15 seconds.


cant wait to see what some of the supercharged 3rd gens get.
Next.........

Think mine is around 8.5, but never timed it accurately, only perf. mod is panel/exhaust, auto and 3L

S/C 3rd gens will probably get around 6

bellto

8.5 in an auto is pretty good.

i dont think the fwd supercharged magnas will get much better the 6.5 as the probably cant get the power to the road.
although, the trd aurion (4.0l sc) does it in around 6 with 241 kw at the fly.

i am sure some sc magnas could be that at the wheels?

I havent done a time with the redback system in it but with my current mods minus the redback (with a mate in the car) filming the run then checking the exact timing on the PC i got 7.8 seconds on a cool night.

but then again maybe proper weight reduction good conditions and only you in the car plus not alot of fuel. Bare in mind the sports is faster then the vrx because the kit adds a fair bit of weight. and the only difference between stock and sports/vrx is the rear muffler

why does it have to go to 6300rpm you would find your car would be better off getting changed at around 5800rpm cos its lost its steam by 6300 and wasting time getting it there. although you can be gaining speed you are well part your max torque and power, and and changing earlier will bring it back into the power band.

True but its also a 10yr old car, and that figure for the Ralliart is when its basically brand new, so still dont believe it, unless its like on a fair decline lol

AWD's had slight loss of KW due to the driveline Transferance. I think they were around 155 kw + a lil extra weight.

AWD GTV/VRX/Sports had 159kW and not due to driveline transferance, but due to the fact that the rear bank exhaust pipe doing a 180 degrees turn (the pipework folds back on itself). Fitting the HM Header will solve that plus give a few more kWs and more importantly, more torque.

I'll time mine one of these days:
HM Headers, K&N panel, heavy duty tow bar with a kerb mass of 1700kgs.

When its harder to see what your approaching? Don't do it on a poorly lit road that has a speed limit below 100. As it is you'll be focusing more on your speedo than usual so you don't want to go exceeding any speed limits then having an accident as a result of your speed with lack of dedicated concentration to the road.

Yes the sport variants had 159kw, the standard Verada/magna awd had 154 kw. Ahhh, My mistake, i knew the exhaust was different just didn't know that it was the cause of loss of power. I'm sure there is extra weight too.
Also there were no GTV awd.

Just as a matter of interest, the tj VRX body kit adds 30 kgs.

He owns a TH, they have a speed alert (no need to look at the speedo). Just set it to 100 and off you go - lift off when you here it beep. How hard can it be? :P

It's hard to find places to do good 0-100's around here. Too many hills and/or the roads are sh!t.

I'd like to think there may be half a second off these times again on a good road.

There are very few real world situations where a 0 to 100 KPH time is important, so I don't want to know if my TJ does it in 5.1 seconds or 15.1 seconds. Can someone explain the importance of this number? Is it just bragging rights? Like "My car is faster, so I must be smarter/more handsome/more likely to pull chicks/get a better job than you" type of thing?

*Best Pauline Hanson nasal voice* Pleez explain!

Best justification will see me strap a jet engine to the roof of my TJ to beat all of your times! lol

Oggy
20-09-2011, 10:19 AM
please explain:
1) it gives you an idea of overtaking ability.
eg: 0-100 in 15 seconds = stay behind the truck and get there eventually.
0-100 in 5 seconds = was that a truck or a moke that we just went around?

2) acceleration is more fun than speed.

3) slower time generally means less fuel gobbling for people that can't control their right foot.

4) my **** is bigger than your **** = bragging rights.

there's a few reasons. Other people might have their own.

As long as my car's 0-100 is no worse than 10 seconds, then I'm moderately happy.



What has 0-100 got to do with rolling acceleration when overtaking trucks? 0-100 has little relevance to in-gear acceleration.
I'd strongly beg to differ with Dave's comment, but this is a NO SPAM section of the forum so I won't create a new post.

please explain:
1) it gives you an idea of overtaking ability.
eg: 0-100 in 15 seconds = stay behind the truck and get there eventually.
0-100 in 5 seconds = was that a truck or a moke that we just went around?

2) acceleration is more fun than speed.

3) slower time generally means less fuel gobbling for people that can't control their right foot.

4) my **** is bigger than your **** = bragging rights.

there's a few reasons. Other people might have their own.

As long as my car's 0-100 is no worse than 10 seconds, then I'm moderately happy.

What has 0-100 got to do with rolling acceleration when overtaking trucks? 0-100 has little relevance to in-gear acceleration.

Wow, Robssei. I'd say that's about 6.5 seconds at a guess. Definitely under 7 I think.

If you have some video editing software (Ulead video studio, etc), you should be able to determine exactly which frame you start to move and when the speedo hits 102. Trim the clip to those 2 points and the video editing suite will tell you exactly how long the video, probably down to 1/25th of a second (depending on how many FPS your video is at).

ahhh could be a good idea, it was filmed on my nokia e63, so framerate wont be great. wouldnt mind some 80-120 times, want to compare dropping to second, then third or just to third and using more rev range. Feels quicker dropping to second, high rev fun lol

I took the liberty of doing that and it comes out around 6.8-6.9 seconds.

80-120km/h is around 4 seconds flat.

In terms of its importance, I guess it's nice to know how long your car will take to match the speed of traffic on a freeway in the event that you have had to pull over and stop on the hard shoulder. It can be difficult to judge the speed of traffic approaching in your mirrors but if you time how long it takes for an approaching car to pass you, and you know long your car takes to get to 100kph, then you can determine from what distance away an approaching car needs to be so that you can floor it and merge out onto the freeway without causing an accident.

Chhers mate, im sure i can cut that down, my take off was terrible, was stupid and tried it while holding ph and shifting, i know, retarded! Ill set up a rig and see if i can get it down. I reckon 6.5 possible, i didnt load up the torque converter. Just strait from idle.

I did tests at drag racing and found no real difference when stalling it up hard versus just a little bit of revs before releasing the brake. AWD Sports Tiptronic 3.5.

Her are some charts from Evoscan showing three 0-100kmph runs in my Magna;

http://imgur.com/a/zJtmU#Vt2FJ

Same stretch of road, just up and back. Was trying for five runs for a good average, but I think I was attracting unwanted attention. Did these on some bumpy ar$e bit of back road.

Run#3

Run #2

Run #1
http://i.imgur.com/Vt2FJ.jpg


Stalled it up on run #1 and lost a little traction. Run two I just eased into it. Run three was a straight tramp , no brakes.

Full tank of fuel. Just me in the car. Was probably a twelve kilometer drive to where I did these run, so everything was at operating temp.

The charts dont display the time well (formatting), so I added a column to show time vs speed.

Managed to get the AWD TL motivated to 100 in 7.23 secs.
This was timed using an iphone dyno app which starts timing when movement is detected.
Had myself and a mate in the car, half a tank of petrol and about the same of LPG.
Took off from the emergency lane of an empty freeway, quite flat but had the passenger side of the car in the dirt lol
Engine Mods:
6G75 Conversion
Hurricane Headers
Sports muffler
K&N Filter

Tipping if i strip the 60+ kgs of sound gear, drop the passenger and run the tanks down a bit id easily get into the mid to high 6's

Good old 3.0 TF Magna Auto wheezes its way to 100 in 8.7 - 8.8 seconds.

This was under the conditions of:

- Flat ground
- No passengers
- Minimal wind
- 16 degree sunny day

The car was stock.

Thats fast. You must rev to the,limiter in 1st? It goes very quick. Dont think my ralliart could do that

Yeh that video was done before i fitted my lsd. It was just before the rev limiter but didnt hit the limiter. But goes well i know that my cars pritty light would be abit lighter than a ralliart magna.

Updated with figures from my TL GTVi

Turns out the TL is slower to 100kmph despite the claimed extra power and five speed auto. The extra weight of the TL is probably to blame.
