Brand new 16" tyres
Driver + nothing else in the car and half a tank of fuel.
V6 3.8L VR
SS Inductions CAI, 2.5" Cat Back, Hi-Tech Extractors, K & N filter, No Bell mouth and well looked after. 240000 Kms on the clock.
I get anywhere between 7.8 - 8.4 seconds to 100
Majority of times are around the 8.00 second mark.
When I add a person (front passenger) times increase by 0.2 to 0.4 seconds.
'Hotmix' road seems to give a little better traction off the line and seem to achieve slightly better times when timing on hotmix.
Colder nights and mornings also give better engine performance due to increased density of inspired air, however this performance gain seems to be all but lost due to the fact that the car has a larger mass of air to displace per unit time to this density increase.
These times are using is using a stopwatch.
The lowest reaction time possible by a human from a visual cue to a physical response is 0.1 s.
This error of 0.1s occurs by both on the commencement of timing and cessation of timing. So a total error of at least (plus or minus) 0.2s must be taken into account for the human factor alone.
Other errors must also be taken into account, most importantly, the accuracy of the speedometer on the car that you are timing.
Accuracy of the stopwatch is probably not an issue when comparing these sorts of times as the accuracy of a stopwatch over a 10 second period generates an error that is far smaller than that due to human error or that of the 'speedo'.
My point? No Idea.
Food for thought.
I know it's not a VS but I felt like adding my $0.02 worth
