Well going through a few mags with times I thought it would be interesting to compare 0-100 times then 1/4 mile times of different cars.Its funny how some cars look the part but can get undone by a slightly modded ford.
Alpha spider gt ........................... 6.9 14.8 Audi s4 ..................................... 5.6 13.9 Audi avant ................................ 4.8 12.9 Ba falcon .................................... 7.7 15.5 Ford xr6 turbo .............................. 6.0 14.3 Fpv gt ....................................... 6.0 14.2 Fpv gt-p ..................................... 6.4 14.5 F6 typhoon .................................. 6.3 14.6 Xr8 ba ........................................ 6.5 14.5 Bmw 330ci .................................. 6.6 14.8 Bmw m3 ..................................... 5.6 13.9 Sv6 commodore.................l.......... 7.2 15.2 Sv6 manual ................................ 6.9 15.1 Holden ss .................................. 5.9 14.1 Monaro cv8 ................................ 5.8 14.1 Honda stype integra .................. 7.2 15.2 Honda s2000 ............................ 6.8 14.9 Honda nsx ................................ 6.1 14.2 Forester turbo ........................... 6.6 14.8 Mazdz rx8 ................................ 6.4 14.8 Mercedes clk 500 ...................... 6.0 14.1 MG ZT .................................... 6.9 14.9 Mitsubishi lancer evo ................. 5.4 13.6 Nissan 350z ............................ 6.4 14.5 Porsche boxster 3.2 ................. 5.7 13.9 Porsche boxter 2.7 ................... 6.5 14.5 WRX ...................................... 5.8 13.8 Subaru liberty gt wagon.............. 6.9 14.9 Volvo s60 ................................ 6.1 14.4 Basically for all my i6 counterparts ..I have looked at around 200 cars this morning and each time a 0-100 run in 7 seconds or more equates to a 15sec+ pass A 0-100 dash in 6.9 or under equates to a car in the 14 second bracket. A 0-100 dash in 6.5 seconds equates to a 14.5 -14.8 1/4 mile.

The Falcon auto alone destroys this comparison. The change from 2nd to 3rd kills the revs and wrecks top end speed. Simple result, I can run 0-100 under 7 seconds often enough but I have yet to get into the 14's. This is more common on the Falcons than you can imagine. Stav, all the speculation in the world means nothing. Until you go and race your AU you have a gtech 0-100 time and no 1/4 mile time. This means any comparison to real world capabilities of cars (magazine times are at best an inaccruate guide) with your car is guesswork.

Hmm I cant say what my car does down the 1/4 mlie.I have not done one...but across the mags a car which does the 0-100 times above 99%of the time get 1/4 mile time within those ranges.
FPVWEPN ...as I said above ,if I run a 1/4 mile then I will say what I ran..no truth in calculations..but statistically ,looking at a typical wheels mag those figures I have mentioned are quite close to reality. I wont be fudging figures..but wanted this post to be for the general forum.I think non fudged figures will be very close to what I have posted.

Gearing (ratio spread) needs to be considered carefully when trying to match 0-100 time to a potential 400m time.
I think our 4-speed auto's are a relatively wiiiiiiiiiiide spread of gear ratios. Are the same ratios between i6 and v8? My Gtech 0-100 is ~6.2 and my best 400m time (WSID) is 14.544. Using the 0-60mph calculator on that 14.544s run gave me a time of 5.8x seconds. Don't forget we are not robots, most of the differences (we are talking tenths here), will be due to the driver shifting earlier/later, getting the throttle on different, and so on... Then there is the EEC which is pulling timing at different rates to save the transmission, or in response to different air temps/oil temps. Let me know when you are ready to take it to the track Stav, I'll come out with you and we can put all this speculation to rest ;) I don't believe GTechs are accurate enough over 400m.

Just tell the missus you are working late...you could install a mobile phone kit for me while we are waiting in the staging lanes. Then you could probably write-off the $45 entry as a tax deduction ;)
But seriously, if you are keen, let me know. I'll take the afternoon off work and we'll hit it :eclipsee_

Well according to a one of the magazines an SV8 has a higher top speed than a R33 GTR. While i like SV8s i doubt this is the case.

Well today in another post on this forum a stock as rock f6 typhoon ran a 13 second bracket 1/4 mile.So I am thinking that the guys from wheels could have not given the vehicle a fair and correct time.
I wont be trusting wheels magazine to buy my next car.I thought we could trust these guys...but it seems that the tester in this case is made of plastic.

Yeah but its not entirely the true sense of top performance. Limiters just stop it goin over a certain point it by no means means its incapable of goin further without mods (except removing the limiter). Remember a limiter limits something which doesnt mean it cant.

I wouldnt do the 1/4 mile in normal driving so I am still happy with that. At the end of the day my wife is the second pillar of my little family and as she respects my decisions,I respect hers.

so she has no problems with you boy racing around the streets, traffic light grand prix and using the g-tech but she won't let you go to a place where it is legal and safe ...
I admire your loyalty Useless but either she needs to be educated to the comparitable dangers of how you gauge your performance now with the bum-o-meter and g-tech or you are just apprehensive on what your car will actually do in a legal, safe and FUN enviroment and have not explained it to her correctly.

I took my XHII V8 down to the drags on Friday night. According to all those magazines my car only does a 16.9 for the 1/4. I've never raced before, so with a crappy launch, 1.2 second reaction time I managed to get a 16.648. To my knowledge my car is completely stock. So if Im a totally inexperienced drag racer and can better the time of magazine tests, doesn't that show some credibility issues?

These magazine times would be averages. Has anyone done the exact same time back to back?
