fastest 0-60

Jay · 20th May 2010, 15:47

I was looking at my Rover 75 Contemporary Se CDTi and it says it does 0-60 in just over 10 secs. I'm pretty sure it does it in well under that. Next time my girlfriend is in the car I'm gonna give her a stop watch and time it.
Any one timed it themselves in a 75 or a MG ZT. I wonder what the fastest time is, and what car and spec it is?

Have'nt checked mine, i had car chipped recently, 165 bhp and 380nm so should be quicker now.

Mine says 11 seconds but im sure it does it faster!

I have found that these stats have been very wrong before. No idea why or how.

when 0-60 times are done, remember that on most cars in the uk, the speedo is a little optimistic. couple that with the fact thats its 0-62 (100kph) then to obtain a true time, you will probably have to get to 67mph, sometimes more, to be accurate to the manufacuteres tests. when 0-62 is measured, they use proper speed recording equipment, so it is spot on. youd be suprised how much extra time it takes to get to nearly 70 on the speedo

Is that down hill?

or are you counting slow.

My old car had a handy stop watch feature built into the onboard computer, always wondered what it was for

Need to use stopwatches both in and out of car with third party
and test off road for true and monitored results.

50-70 is a better test in a torquey diesel and in that respect mines does
50-70 in 4th a tad over 5 secs
50-70 in 5th a tad over 6 secs
This is with a synergy on 10,air-mod,pipercross filter and egr bypass compared to the official 50-70 in 5th which is around 9 or 10 secs
these figures are not that far off a v8 but with 45mpg instead of 18mpg,obviously doesnt sound anywhere near as good though
