0-60 is usually pretty accurate too, normally within .3 or .4 of a second

1 long ton = 1.016 metric tonnes

1 metric tonne = 0.9842 long ton

LMAO. So if you want the real answer (UK TONNE) you must x0.9842 every time.

I'm sure that you should be able to re-do that.

So given that formula and what it says my car will do 0-60. Do you think that it'll do a 0-60 in 7.28sec give or take.

Yeah, you get the correct numbers when you do that.

But i want to know if your backing up this thing by saying that my car does 7.28 to 60.

But there is one very big difference that will always hinder the Corsa's 0-60 time.

It can't do 60 in 2nd gear. Therefore you must change into 3rd which will lose you time. Thats why the book figures are always 1sec or so faster.

Well i thought gear ratio's would come into 0-60?

Like certain cars need to be in 3rd for 60 where as some can manage it in 2nd?

its only meant as an idea, figures like bhp/ton and /litre etc will always be accurate as will the torque stuff

So you won't admit that my car will do 0-60 in 7.28?

you happy now? after all that.. you need to take a brake mate tbh arguing over something like this.. what i want to know is why doesnt the formula take into consideration the loss of power through friction due to the condition and size of the tyres... probably because no one really cares!?

its there to give a rough idea, which it does nicely..

Just raise the damn limiter so you can hit 60 in second

I thought with all the "

" and the "

" It wouldn't have seamed like that.

I was just trying to get steve to say that my corsa is close to 7secs to 60

Baiting him i know. But it was funny. Sorry.

I have some screws and a hammer and a twix.

Is that good enough?

You WONT be faster than a 106 GTi to 60mph. as said, steves is the same speed as mine was, and when I used to race GTi's/VTS's it used to be neck and neck to 80mph odd then id' pull about half a car to 110mph odd.

And your weight seems abit opptomistic Steve. mine weighed in at 910kg and all I had that you didn't is A/C, which I later removed. So I think it weighed about 890kg. So it had the same as you; PAS, EW etc etc, and you've got a sunroof so I dont see how it's 50kg's lighter than mine just becasue you've removed 1/3 of your dash.
