Title: Turbo clips
Post by: Anonymous on March 30, 2004, 19:57
Today being a nice day i had my camera and put it to video mode for a few thrashes,so not best video or sound!!

Not doing anything professionally but with a stopwatch, passenger and turbo at 7psi, 0-60 was 5.6seconds. Baring in mind a wheel spin at beggining and i hit the rev limiter through 1st to 2nd   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  i know it would be 5seconds or less on my own, better driver and std alloys back on and not my heavy 17"s.

Anyone that can be arsed to download the clips they're quite big, so dial ups BEWARE. And they aint the best quality.

6MB

Straight road doing slightly over limit   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  , as you'll see when the SLOW mark on the road flashes past.  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  Inside the car.

You can test my time yourself if you start a stopwatch when i set off and just when i change into 3rd that should be about 61mph according to juansolo's post about gearing (speedo said about 64, but i timed to the end of 2nd gear)
