Maseratigood 5th Gear February 25, 2013 Share February 25, 2013 There is surely some minor variance in timing but if car is modded or using different grade of petrol, the timing will tell if there is a gain in power or loss power. We use the before and after delta (the difference) to determine the effects. It is more for benchmarking. Not just for racing or some stunts that some Bros have in their mind. Yes, benchmarking ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue850r Clutched February 25, 2013 Share February 25, 2013 OT a bit:- If A does 0-100 in say 5 sec on public road, B does it in say 14 sec, yes 14 sec! Between the two, if they do it on public roads, who is more dangerous to other road users? Well, the 14 sec car is more dangerous because of the duration of the exposure. Then again, can't we use our IQ to select a quiet stretch of road ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Supercharged February 25, 2013 Share February 25, 2013 just checking you measure your 0-100 performance on the road. Was watching youtube and notice many used the speedometer (either video timed or hand timed), i recently realize that our speedometer can be faster by quite a bit as they factory always set it a bit higher (meaning it shows faster than it is)..so you time may look better. My car is almost 10km/hr difference at 100!!!!!! (verified with ODB sensor and GPS). For faster cars it maybe a fraction of a second difference, but for slower cars can make a 2 second difference (like mine slow Altis) I have tried GPS timing but its not very accurate as it can 'miss' the start. Now using ODBII sensor (android) and the times are very high..so maybe its the most accurate (ODB speed readings are different from what is shown on the speedometer. Now looking for program that can give acceleration curve. My car gear ratio means more zippy at low speed by really drag closer to 100. Anyone go another way of testing? Get a life, will ya? Don't be anal abt this kind of thing. There are many ways to cheat this 0-100km timing (take out spare tyre, pump higher PSI into 4 tyres, switch off air con, take out seats, use higer spec engine oil, pump F1 petrol, change air filter, etc etc). It depends on how u want to 'play' with the variables. No 2 same car will have the same 0-100km timing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily1986 5th Gear February 25, 2013 Share February 25, 2013 Are you implying that 0-100km/h on public road is dangerous? What do you infer from my reply? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas 5th Gear February 25, 2013 Share February 25, 2013 Maybe can calibrate your speedometer to show the right 100km/h to match with GPS, then use the stopwatch method. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
