was that on a gtech? to be doing a true 100km/h the dash reads 105 km/h or JUST under...

my exact 0-60mph on the gtech is between 6.3 and 6.65 on a good launch and 0-100 km/h is 6.8-7.0 meaning theres a .5 of a second difference between 0-60 & 0-100, stock vn v8 auto.

on a 6.7 0-60mph i get the following (only results i have on my pc)

0-10km/h- .4 secs
0-20km/h- .7 secs
0-30km/h- .1.2 secs
0-40km/h- 1.9 secs
0-50km/h- 2.7 secs
0-60km/h- 3.5 secs
0-70km/h- 4.2 secs
0-80km/h- 5.0secs
0-90km/h- 6.0 secs
0-100km/h- 7.0 secs

Thats an average run but can get it lower if i get full traction off the mark and some wheelspin thorugh mid-high first gear

cheapest way is to take a video of your car and time it on the computer by slowing down the frame rate, youll get within .2 of a second or so accuracy

In a car that runs in the 6-7 second range the difference between 60mph and 100km/h is about .2 or .3 of a second. If it takes your car half a second to make another 2mph something is buggered:p

edit: I've found a page that says 1.05 x the 60mph time is pretty accurate

What I find the easiest way to tell if a 5 litre commodore is fast or not is how long does it take to complete shift out of 1st gear (on 3.08s). A normal one will take exactly 3.5 seconds but a fast one will be down near 3 seconds flat

what do you mean exactly? the time it takes to shift out of first?

For comparrison everyone with a v6 or v8 that has a 0-100 video stashed on their pc load it onto this thread and list your specs/mods and which mods you feel made the biggest difference.

Maybe we could start a new thread if its easier..


Ill start off, stock vn v8 sedan 165kw commodore with 2.5 inch catback, greenfoam tune and pod running 225/60/15's (LSD)

This is a 6.7 second 0-100km/h (0-60MPH 6.33)

How long it holds the gear for.

So if you boot it off the line, and your first gear is only lasting about 3 seconds, then by Foamy's theory, you've got a quick car. Anything above 3.5, and you've got some checking to do :p

Yes if it's completed the shift to 2nd at 3.5 seconds that would be an average (good) running 5 litre with 3.08 gears :) but anything around 3 - 3.2 seconds is a fast 5 bolt on litre. After a bit of practice you can tell how fast they are just listening to them boot 1st gear, 3 seconds flat out of first could be a 13.99 seconds 1/4 mile kind of 5 litre. I can't remember exactly but the V6's take about 4 seconds to do 1st gear
