Thanks I'll check it out

I have dynolicious on the iPhone and did some testing at heathcote and when the rollout was set up correctly the time was within 0.1 of the timeslip.... Probably more accurate than the heathcote track timers, my awd magna ran 114mph the once LOL try 96mph haha

tehehehe

seriously though, i have read the reviews for it previously, and while the manufacturer has 'claims' to support its accuracy, i wouldn't be putting money on it. The GPS in my iPhone and every iphone i've ever used, is absolutely awful. Even in full clear blue days it says we're driving through housing estates while we're on the south eastern fwy. It jumps, stops, darts etc. Anyway i think you'll find that ap uses the accelerometer rather than the GPS.

Sorry, your right. It does use the accelerometer my bad! I'm not just talking about manufacturer claims, I'm talking user claims. I've used it on many cars with each run being extremely close to the manufacturer quarter mile runs.

I know there are skeptics out there but until you've actually trialled the app, you can't know for sure... i think you'd be surprised. I was extremely skeptical of it, but the results proved to me otherwise. The runs in my Ralliart showed me that this app, calibrated correctly produces very accurate results. The theory was simple really, If i launched well, and changed gears correctly, then i achieved a decent time.
There were a couple where i got the gear change a little late and had the front end bumping away on launch hence the slower times. But, that can be experienced in any car.

Just sharing my experience with you all that's all. Opinions on the app is a digression altogether.

my $600 tom tom was telling me i was doing 195km/h on eastlink, then beeped as i was then doing way over the speedlimit in a side street and requested i do a u-turn at the roundabout, then started telling me i was doing 187km/h on cheltenham road....

all while i was sitting on 97km/h (cruise control) on eastlink LOL

if i didnt pay so much for it i'd have thrown it out the window..

i have tested my iphone app against the gtech pro rr i have, and its accurate and repeatable, but im going to look into using the xcal 3 to log the acceleration providing i dont wheelspin too much it should be even better...

just gotta find me a windows computer, unless i can boot windows on my mac and run live link like that, but i'd rather not go installing viruses on my machine

been a while but thought i would try and revive this old thread. what reliable times have people gotten out of their manual turbos compared to, im to lazy to change gears but have a faster take off automatic brothers?!

[RASER]

I recon my stock 98' XH2 auto ute did it in the 6's or less, that was a freak vehicle, ask the dude in the 911 and HSV with the "WTF" look on there faces, kept them very very honest.

My 08' BF11 does 100kmh in 6 minutes, its very very lethargic, the gearbox is total rubbish, way overgeared in 1st [stuggles to bag up the tyres] and way undergeared in 4th, wont plonk into 4th till 75kmh, worst thing in the whole vehicle, where did FoA find these gearboxes?

Even a Pagani Zonda R would be scared by you with a time only 0.45 seconds in front of you and he has 750 kw, 710 nm and a mass of 1050 kg.

That will do. If your result is accurate which I highly doubt it is, you are whipping some pretty strong contenders and often by a considerable margin.

Even compared to my own F6 which has shown pretty consistent times of 5.5 seconds, 3.15 is a whole 2.35 seconds quicker. Personally, I think you need to double check your device against other methods.

Realistically, what sort of power/torque/gearing would it take to launch a falcon from 0-100 in even 3.5 seconds ? Traction would be a big problem.

My old EB did it in around 7.5 seconds I think.

And my current best attempt in the Beemer saw 6.3 to 100, not bad for a P-plater car, handles very well too

[Blue Blooded]

I got 4.4 with an OBD2 app on my phone.

[Olbucko]

I reckon my old Rodeo ute would make 0-100 in about seven and a half minutes

[The Monty]

My first car, a 1.8L SOHC manual Camry wagon went 21.7.....
AU1 fairmont, 6.9
AU3 Forte, 6.6
BA MKII XT, 7.7

[HULK EF]

i marked a date on the calender stuck to the dash apon smashing the accelerator of my VH 202 blue commondore.. 4 cars and 10 years ago...

In my BF MK11 XRT on 20's with 10's on the rear i run..

12.68@ 111.50 MPh full street trim..
-just X3 10psi tune/PWR intercooler/UBP and SS Snorkel.

so whats that? High 4's? low 5's? 0-100.

[Psi-Pop]

I don't know 0-100kmh but can give 0-160km in 6.9s.

[Nic85]

My Evo would do 0-100km/h in 3.2 seconds. 80-120km/h in 2.1 seconds. 0-160km/h in about 8 seconds.

My 380 does 0-100km/h in 7 seconds dead. Never done the quarter mile or any other thing with it.

Nice what model evo have you got and what's been done to it?
