Chris-B Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 lmao i wish rob but no i dont have all that must be something wrong with your speedo or something mate as their is no way a car of this age will be faster than what it waswhen it rolled out the factory unless modified in some way. My sz-r does it in around 6.5-6.9 at an estimate and thats not using gps or other gizmos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratm Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 How are you measuring the 0-60 times Ben ? Mike Very roughly with a mate and stopwatch, not got any electronic gizmos to try out. What might be worth a go is videoing the speedo and working it out from the frames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I believe what my stop clock and my video evidence tells me. Out of interest, what top speed did you get to? (as shown in the video) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradriver Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 i Got my revs up then pressed play then I set off and recorded the Speedo and then timed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I've only ever had a couple of goes with the turbo timer which does a 0-100kph time and i got 5.3. I didn't think that was too bad for a stock 14 year old car with 19" wheels. Had too much wheelspin too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I believe what my stop clock and my video evidence tells me. They lie to you A TT Supra does 0-60 in around 4.9-5.1 seconds, the OP says he cant get below 6.1. You have 100 HP less and yet you can in fact hit 5 seconds with a relaxed 0-60? I doubt that very much sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratm Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have a driftbox if you want to get some proper times. Mike Thanks Mike. i might go for out with the camera for a while now and see what I can get failing that, I might give that a go. What exactly is a drift box though?

Pixelfill Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hey give the bloke a break Rob, you'll be laughing on the other side of your face when he gets a better time than you at Supra Pod will that be because his car is faster than your Single, or because your single will still be on blocks In all seriousness, if his car is as fast as he says, he'll be able to demonstrate to all the non-believers at Supra Pod.
