Am doing a sheet to go in my car window as am on a Lotus stand at an airshow this week and don't want to spend the day explaining what it is and what it does so am doing a info sheet to go in the window. I dont want to put any daft willy waggling figures so wondered what is generally considered the rough 0-60 or 0-100 time and top speed, so the kids don't keep asking me that one as well. Its a stage 2 SC car with 255bhp and about 220 lb torque. Suspension sorted on 888's etc etc. I was thinking 0-60 around 4 seconds ish, 0-100 11 seconds, 150 top end? Car revs out at 6800 I know this is a naff thing to ask so flame away. Martin S

vxr220 has 0 - 60 of 4.2s , you have more power , so 4 ish seems acceptable

[slindborg]

Just make it up. No one will care

 

0-62mph = 3.1

0-100mph = 2.8 (yes)

top speed = 95mph

 

You know, total contradiciton stuff

I have 300bhp and reckon I could do it in 3.7secs on a good run and on decent tyres. I have tried various runs in it and can only get it down to 4.00 secs though as the wheels spin as it has too much power. I have been recording these on my scangauge 2.

[Claws]

Top speed 173mph

[fezzasus]

Top speed 173mph

 

ECU has a built in speed limiter, i doubt the CS map disables it.

[turbobob]

I have done a timed 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. Stage 3 turbo approx 270 Bhp on standard bridgies.

[G-Bob]

Top speed 173mph     173.6mph.

 

 

0-60mph 4.0sec

0-84mph 5.1secs

 

remember and put in the weight and bhp/Tonne  figure for ultimate willy waving

[Hark]

Limited to what?

[turbobob]

151mph if memory serves.

I timed my NA to 60 this weekend. It took 14 seconds. Seemed fast enough to me; let's call it 4 dead, then.

Timed with what, using what as the indicator for speed?

[turbobob]

GPS & OBDII port.

[hairy]

Mach 0.21

[Duncan VXR]

Bit of fun granted but race logic box or timed proper run is the only way to confirm

timed with a sundial , its an NA indicator of speed, people walking past overtaking , its an NA timed with an atomic clock , its a turbo indicator of speed, low flying tornado's waving you on , its an turbo

your timing gear is inaccurate then. 

 

i did a couple runs with the perf box 

 

0-60 = 3.9

0-100 = 9.5 (that was with the spolier tho)

Chris, not sure how you can say that.  Every single car/driver combo will perform differently.  The equipment in both instances may be correct or incorrect, but it's kind of irrelevant given that 2 drivers in the same car with the same equipment may post substantially different times.  As a rough guide looking at what people have said, drop 0.2 seconds per stage of tune on the Tub.  The SC ones though?  Who knows.  0-60 probably similar but I expect they lose out on 0-100...

[Harry Hornet]

just put down... "its Fcuking fast"...most people will understand that

[mbes2]

I thought the top speed would be limited to the gearing not the ECU ?
