Recently on a private road I did a few run throughs to time 0-100 figures in my 380. Best time was 7 seconds flat, all ranged from 7 to 7.1 seconds. Mine is a series 3 SX with larger airbox intake and K&N filter mods performed.

Anyone else timed their 0-100? If so, what were your results?

My un-official time is aroun 6.8-6.9. I got the galant intake, berklee muffler, lowered suspension with some decent tyres.

Yep, same times here with the same mods.About 6 tenths faster than stock from memory.

I'm sure I get the same out of my ancient TE (7 seconds) which is completely stock. But I will veryify this on the way home tonight :)

The official time for a VRX is 7.4 so i highly doubt you could achieve under 7 even with intake

I'm sure I get the same out of my ancient TE (7 seconds) which is completely stock. But I will veryify this on the way home tonight :)

Keep in mind, assuming your TE is manual, that it's about 250kgs lighter than a 380.

I think these close to 7 seconds and under runs are a bit optimistic. Surely a muffler and the 90mm intake cannot make that much of a difference?

Anybody have a G-tec or whatever they are called to get some proper times?

The big difference will be tyres and suspension for 0-100 times.

Robbed I say! 10 sec consistently, although it was raining. So maybe 9 on a good day.

Yep, helps for sure as you would expect.Was doing 7.2-.3's with intake mods then fitted muffler,wheels ,tyres (already lowered) and times dropped another 3-4 tenths. Would like to know what an LSD would drop the times to?

I don't think 7 seconds is too outlandish.... i posted about 8 in a stock tj vr-x that had 4 people in it.

and an lsd won't drop times unless you have trouble with 1 wheel spinning.. but that is often the case so yes it will improve times hahaha.

LSD will drop times on a MT equiped car as you can launch harder without wheelspin.

Cmon Fooz, Blackie and all you supercharged crew, what are you guys getting??? LSD and all are you 5's. I guess the other thing is to make sure that your tyres aren't out of spec and you are reading under what you are doing (and getting there quicker lol). Me personally, I haven't got up to 100 kph yet (Pinocchio oh Pinocchio, is that you lol)

noice!!!!!!!

Yeah, but this is a 380 thread not a 6G75 thread!
AWD Magna with a 6G75 transplant doesn't count, at least not until Blackstar gets his AWD 380 up & running.
And no, I haven't timed my slightly warmed manual 380 from 0 to 100, my guestimate is 6.5 secs if I can get a good launch. And that's a very big if without an LSD!
Also need to take into account the weight difference between an AWD Magna and a 380.
Not a lot in it at a guess, an auto 380 VRX (common model on these forums) probably weighs about 80kg more than an AWD Magna, so one passenger worth.
Anyone have the weight figures?

thats not bad at all and it would be awesome around the track.
really for the weight of cars these days they put out some pretty good times. I wouldnt worry to much about the 0-100 time, and if the falcon or commodore will beat you in a straight line because at the end of the day when it gets to the corner it will go around it unlike other vehicles.

TW LS AWD = 1663kG

*hey Tree man, guessing doesnt count either! lol

I think the VRX are around 1680kg so yeah not a lot in it besides the AWD!!! lol

OK, per the workshop manual, 380 auto weights are base model 1,665kg, VRX 1,670kg, SX/LX 1,660kg, GT 1,700kg

Beats me how the SX/LX weighs 5kg less that the base model.

For a manual subtract 40kg.

So my base model manual should weigh 1,625kg which is 38kg less than Al's fat pig of an AWD.

So if he can get 6.14 seconds for 0 - 100 I should be able to get into the fives, being manual and all!

So (KJ/TreeWTF sort of a name is that? lol ) when did you install the AWD rubber bands on your 380?

She's not a "fat pig" she's just big boned! :happy:

The new falcon goes round corners very well.
I've had a few cornering duels and they are quite nimble for a big car. Usually they back off sooner because the driver isn't as committed and probably because I know how controllable mine is past the limit.
Can't compare with the SV6 etc because so far no one has been able willing drive them fast around a corner.

yeh was wondering what the new Falcon was like? sorry i should have mentioned was comparing the same year models of the time. I've driven BA's and BF's and they just felt like they didnt really want to turn like the 380 did.

This thread is for discussion of 0-100 times of Mitsu 380s. I can understand discussing zero's AWD but discussion of entirely different makes and models of cars hasn't really served any purpose so far. Any further off-topic posting will be removed.

How come you haven't put my RPW defaced diff in the TMR yet? lol

:facepalm i did the same thing once and got a 5.67 in my Ralliart with a stop watch... wld have to say there is always going to be a missing second without an accurate device.

Best way to measure it really, is get on a nice, flat bit of road, setup a camera fixed on the speedo, do the run, then later import the video into a movie making program and you can slow the movie down frame by frame. This is the way I did it with my acceleration runs. I was able to slow the 80-120km/h run down frame by frame to get a time of 2.16 seconds.

That's still not accurate enough. I did the same with the Ralliart but there is a second missing compared to a 'proper' 1/4 mile slip time.

There are so many people trying this and coming up with unrealistic times... check out all these Aurion's & Camry's getting 6 sec 0-100 doing the same thing :facepalm

Thats the proper result they got, not a stuff up, as its mentioned in the attached article as well. It was electronically timed in car, with traction control on and off. They aren't trying to sell the car, the magazine did a story on the TMR380 in general, and tested the car (Build #001) and they got those times.

Hmmm yeah not a good advertisment for the car lol

Knotched got that down the quarter in his N/A auto 380 & he messed the start up lol

Obviously has the S3 meaning 3PSI blower which takes 3 PSI to overcome the losses of the blower itself lol

makes me wonder why TMR bothered with the supercharger they should've just put in a bigger air box and k&n filter. imagine spending 60K on a car thats no quicker than a corolla

That TMR figure can't be right. The time for a stock auto 380 VRX is 7.3secs. There is no possible way you could get a slower time with a blower, it just doesn't make sense!

Well mine when I put that first pile of crap S3 blower on only produced about 8kw more from memory. Made plenty of whining noises but didn't go hardly any better than N/A IMO.

The first couple of PSI has to overcome the inherent losses of the blower & the 20 TMR's all got built with S3 chargers sooooo the quoted KW figure is a load of crap & pulled from the Sprintex online calculator I'd say which is known to be quite wrong. The S5 blower however is a different story ;)

Still the 8.2 second figure can't be right unless they had the handbrake on during the run lol

I think they floored it both times and sat on the spot spinning the tyres for around 2.5 seconds...

I think they floored it both times and sat on the spot spinning the tyres for around 2.5 seconds...

If you read what I posted mate, the same times were recorded with both traction control on and off.

Well even with the traction control on in my tj vr-x i could probably save myself 1 second in a 0-100 time by using a good takeoff technique because the wheels do spin. I just presumed a 380 would be similar, especially one that is supercharged. Yer the 2.5 seconds was an exhageration but you get what i mean haha

Obviously has the S3 meaning 3PSI blower which takes 3 PSI to overcome the losses of the blower itself lol

I got a 15.5 with masses of wheelspin. The TMR was never tested faster than the stock model. When ppl rave about TMR's 380 it makes me laugh. They obviously didn't treat it as a serious performance concern. As Foozr has outlined, the blower was only putting out 3psi so it was barely quicker than stock, let alone a well set up 380 that so many have now.

Yep there could still be up to 18 TMR drivers out there that wouldnt be very happy about there $60k investment if they only knew what an s3 blower was.

Doesn't matter what the timing technique is, as long as the conditions are the same.

Here are a couple of videos taken on the same road (my driveway at home) for all you TMR380 haters.

I didn't rev the crap out of either of them on launch to exagerate their performance.

I can't see that much difference in 0-100km/h times, the XR6 is 0.1s faster on video on 1 run and 0.2s slower on another.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObNfGvqWGB4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwlutWC59sQ



As I said these are both stock, as they came from the dealer, not reflashed or modded.
The TMR380, even with faulty S3 blower in that video is pretty damn good.


.

The whole reason I did timed runs was to see if the mods were actually doing anything,just seat of the pants feel is not good enough for me , I wanna see it! You can get some pretty accurate times If you use a couple of different methods simultaneously and do enough back to back runs(not just one or two), a pattern emerges and you take an average. Do ya mod then re-do the timing and, as Blackstar mentions, make sure the conditions are the same! I wasn't to fussed wether my times where 100% accurate(although my base time was the same as the "AS TESTED" times in mags)but as long as they were repeatable, then seeing improvements is easy! I think the motion sensing, GPS based timing methods are pretty good.

This is what I mean by being accurate - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Ds6RjpTbo

I put that in Windows Movie Maker and added a stopwatch to the timeline. It's very accurate this way.

As they say...seeing is believing.

On a video if anyone is using violent launches, or holding the brake and revving the crap out of an auto to take off I don't bother watching it.

I knew i had a pic of this floating around on my computer somewhere. TMR 380's 0-100 and 1/4 mile times stock from Mitsubishi themselves. Give or take a few 0.10 of a second. @ the 2007 Melbourne Motor Show.

I also have a video of my Ralliart timed 0-100 somewhere, when i find it I'll post it up. I'm sure as i was editing frame by frame i came across a discrepancy which affected the validity of calculating the times this way. I know it was something to do with the frames per second as such. When i find it I'll share it with you. I've used programs such as Adobe Premier and Pinnacle Studio. I did find that the frame rate per second in Windows Movie Maker was out by .07 each second. Now, i know that's a minor discrepancy but it adds up over time.

Now thats more like it! Thanks for the info Ezz :happy:

Same old, same old, same old misinformation.

It was never sold.....you are liberating the prototype and it's specifications as has every other review.

They did not sell any of those.


No wonder Mitsubishi didn't have a chance in this country.

Blackstar, I'm not questioning anything your saying, purely putting up the information that i have on it.
Agree, these never made it past this show... i knew something was fishy when i looked closely under the engine bay and saw what looked like a standard 380 setup... i queried the guys on this and i don't believe it even had the blower on it yet. :hmm:

So, I'm listening to you mate, as you have the cold hard evidence in your driveway. I believe you in what your stating... but I think that this 'Idea of Video/Editing in car speeds relating to times' can only be a very rough estimate of the 0-100 using a video camera and basic editing software as there are flaws within such programs such as frame loss etc. Wld luv to see what results you get after taking it down to the track one day?

I have nothing against the TMR 380's... i totally luv them and if i cld get one i wld. I hear you regarding misinformation from mitsu and other reviews. I much prefer personally hearing it from someone who actually owns the car and knows the car.

My TMR380 will never get flogged at a drag strip, race track... maybe

Obviously noone has spoken up at all on the most glaringly obvious anomaly in those posted specs.


Cause lots talk about this and that but will never see one.

All TMR380's have auto transmission...and that's one big difference...also the diff ratio, the suspension, the wheel offsets, the seats , the interior etc etc

What hit the showrooms is an emmisions and ADR compliant Supercharged V6 street car....

Another sales hype mule for a show. happens a lot esp with V8 supercars etc

Thought I'd drag up an old thread to add my 2 cents worth...

Did a couple of quick 0-100 acceleration tests in my 380 recently (on a quiet road with a 110kmh limit, but not enough runs to nail a decent launch without excessive wheelspin). Worst was 8.04, best was 7.81, as measured by an Android phone app (UlysseSpeedometer). This is slightly better than most magazine/web reports I had read (generally low to mid 8's), only "mods" are Galant intake, and an extra cold air feed into the airbox, plus a straight through muffler. I doubt these mods would make more than 0.1 second improvement to 0-100 times, so I was slightly surprised at the results, and also given that my previous car was a 175kw VZ Commodore which "felt" slightly faster off the line, and was typically quoted in reviews around the 8 flat to low 8's mark 0-100. That said, my fairly worn Dunlop tyres give pretty average grip on takeoff compared to the Bridgestone RE001's on my other (bog standard) 380.

Interested to see if anyone else has used a GPS app to measure times - I'm not sure I trust times based on a handheld stopwatch or similar - too much human error can creep in. Previous reports of low 7's 0-100 for (basically) standard 380's seem maybe a bit optimistic to me, given Mitsu's official claim was 7.6 seconds, and widely acknowledged to be a bit optimistic itself...

On a side note, had an Aurion hire car for 10 days recently (admittedly a non-sport suspension model) - holy shit, straight line speed, especially 80-120kmh overtaking, is well faster than the 380, but it handles like a wet sponge, while managing to do a piss poor job of damping minor bumps plus providing scary steering kickback from mid-corner bumps. So fast in a straight line though...

0-100 is, and always will be, a shit measurement for performance

If you go back to the original Wheels review of the 380 upon its release, they recorded a 7.1 or 7.2 0-100 in a stock (ES) 380. That's not Mitsubishi figures. The VRX was slower by a slight margin due to the apparent extra weight of the model.

0-100 is, and always will be, a shit measurement for performance

I'd agree that in the real world, overtaking times are a more useful performance comparison, but I don't see why 0-100 times are a shit measurement - care to elaborate? Surely they at least provide a good way to compare different cars against each other, even if road surfaces and driver skill will affect launches far more than roll-on acceleration times?

I wouldn't call it shit. the lower the 0-100 time usually reflects the performance of the car in a straight line. The car with the best 0-100 will usually have better drag times.

Real world when do you drag another car off from 0-100??
That is why it is a shit measure.

whenever you go to any of the legal places where you can race your car. What else would you use to measure performance????

How are you guys measuring your times?

Remember that a lot of factory speedos aren't accurate and often, when it displays 100klm/h, you're probably still doing 9xklm/h.

Hand timing and relying on factory speedo is a very inaccurate way of recording 0-100.

Official time slip is much more accurate.

I know we love our Magnas but we saw what kind of times a TMR 380 is doing.

For comparison to another powerful FWD, consider that the Toyota Aurion TRD is rated at 241kw / 400nm with a time of 6.1 seconds for 0-100 ...

Its very difficult to break the 5 second barrier in a FWD. the megane boys are managing it, but without a lot of extra power. Suspension plays a massive role in standing start FWD acceleration. I think the Focus RS500 was only about 5.7 to 100. As i was saying above, 0-100 is a rubbish performance indicator. Even though an AurionTRD can only manage 6.1 to 100, it would absolutely trollop other "faster" cars in a rolling test

practice makes for perfect launches when combined with lsds and semi slicks :)

Ive managed a 0-100km in 5.7secs in my 3.5l manual with mods. Done it a fair few times but i drive the **** out of the thing to get that time. believe it or not

Why are some people negative and disbelieving?

Kurt's posted his 1/4 mile time before: 9.544 seconds to 120.84kph - this is a fact.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/338/23112010274.jpg/

Everything else is just conjecture, if you doubt it, say so. But don't say it didn't happen because you can't prove that it didn't.

Not sure how to read a time slip, enlighten me on what R/T means please.
And help me out here too, I could be missing something, but 9.5 secs to 120kmph on a prepared surface, seems to be long way off 5.7 to 100 on a street.

Don't doubt it though please Marty.

I will help you out. R/T is reaction time which in essence means nothing for us plebs at the track. R/T is used in competitive drag racing where guys have to "dial in" a time and then get as close to that time as possible, including their R/T. For general users like us, it doesn't count to anything - it's simply the amount of time you sat at the lights before you left. The timing gear doesn't start until you break the beam.

Now, to help you on your second question, on a fully prepared racing surface, possibly with his tyres let down slightly for more traction, Kurt's time slip would indicate that after 9.544 seconds on the drag strip, he was travelling at 120km/h. I am going to be kind and say that it took Kurt 7.95 seconds to hit 100km/h.

Someone smarter than me needs to do the maths here, but that's what I got. Unless it takes 3.85 seconds to go from 100km/h to 120km/h, which I highly doubt.

Thanks, the reaction I figured out on the way to work, but breaking the beam answered my next question. Cheers, good luck with the 380 btw......
