    Default Zero-60?

    Just curious if any of you guys have tried doing your own 0-60 test? I tried with my buddy in the passenger seat a few months ago, using the OBC timer. The first time I got a mega awesome launch, but it threw him back in the seat so he missed the start button. Second time was a decent launch, I think OBC read like 7.6sec.

    Mine is a little under 8. Keep in mind that these cars arent really built for 0-60 runs.

    I have test the 0-100km/h twice

    The first test was with the use of OBC and 8.4 sec was the best attempt

    The second one was with the use of this equipment http://www.gtechpro.com/prod.html and the results for 0-60M/h where 7.9 secs

    I got 10.8secs, uphill, in economy, just foot to the floor till 100kph
    I checked rear vision mirror and could barely see the other 50ppl from the lights.

    There arent really any straight flat roads near me that dont have speed cameras or traffic that i can test it on
