0-60mph times

[wezzel98765]

Ok let's simplify it for you; you claimed your 207 GT will do 60 in under 7 seconds. That's is utter drivel, even with videos showing otherwise.

No-one claimed it wouldn't if it had been mapped, as mapping never came into the discussion FFS

Who gives a toss about the Polo GTI?

I'm out.

:sleepy: :slap:

 

[wezzel98765]

Then I think I can safely say that yours WILL NOT do 60 in under 7 secs then. The end..

P.s. It didn't have a remap for the video ... does now but I was referring to the video only

So what you getting now then? 3-4 sec lol.

Mid 6 seconds before my cat decided to implode :/

clearly you're just being a tw*t now

Not really your just not making sense/talking crap. So your extra 44BHP and what ever mega torque increase has only given you an extra 0.3 to 60 has it? Thats poor to say the least...

Read what I've put... I have the GT THP 150 with 147bhp as standard.

Book time of 8.4 seconds. I was doing it in 7.5 seconds ISH before the remap, now i'm doing it in mid 6 seconds... pretty normal to drop a second off to 60 with a remap iirc

 

[Dink]

my polo GTI will do 0-60 in about 6 secs

 

[Matthew]

0-60 time for a Peugeot 207 GT THP 150 is 8.4 seconds... I've VIDEOED a standard 0-60 time of approx 6.8 seconds (no it wasn't downhill)... therefore I totally believe it!

6.8 your words, not ours...

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

parkers rate the 207 gti @ 6.9 seconds

I call bullsh@t on that mate

Unless your car is magically 250kg lighter than standard there's no ways it getting close to 7 seconds

You had to re read what you put even though people have put things along the lines of "Your car will not do sub 7 sec to 60" about 15 times?:S

Words fail me....

 

[wezzel98765]

oh I give up... if you guys think that no other car can do 0-60 in under 7 seconds then fine.

I really have better things to be doing, but, it passed some time so hey :argue: :butt:

 

[Matthew]

Why do people feel the need to over-state their own cars performance?

I don't get it atall...

If you want to willy wave, why didn't you buy the GTI and not the piss poor GT?

I is confused :/

I'm not even going to respond to the first half of your post

Because when I got the GT a year ago, the GTI was just over 2k to insure and the GT 1.2k.

Now, the GT is £900 to insure and the GTI is £1.4k

Erm, I think you just did lol.

 

[Matthew]

Lol just seen the weight of the 207 is over 1300kgs!

My old Golf GTI with over 200bhp (before it broke) would do 60 in 7 secs and it weighed the same as that.

:/

 

[Will.]

What the f**k is going on in here. 0-60 is a load of b****cks.

All this talk of 0.3 seconds. Do you really notice that point three of a second? f**k sake, it's a clio.

 

[gazzer]

0-60 is a rubbish performance indicator eg no use in the real world I used to own a MR2 turbo with 300bhp 0-60 in under 4.5 sec and 0-100 in 12sec but sold it to buy my trophy after failing to keep up with a standard 182 cup on a normal British B road. The only place 0-60 counts is on a drag strip and how often do you get on one of them.

I've been told by tuners that it's all to do with the gear ratios?

For example, in the Peugeot 207 GTI ... the car maxes out at 137mph... because it redlines in 5th gear at that speed

When cruising along at 70mph in 5th gear the car has 3,500 rpm approx! .. Close ratio gearbox I think causes this?

 

[pendulumx]

Incorrect, my sat nav both on my phone and my tom tom both say that @ 62mph on the dash, I'm doing 60mph

Then take half a second or so off the time if it makes you happy; your car's still an 8-second-ish 0-60 on the evidence of your video.

Also, I've done timed 0-60s using an obd2 tool and it has recorded consistently low to mid 7s (when my car worked)

I doubt that's any more accurate than your shaky camera recording the inaccurate speedo from an angle method.

You question inaccuracy.. fair enough... however, IF the book time is measured via speedo, then surely so should my 0-60?

For example, if we did a video of your car and a video of my car both going by the speedo. Surely because they are both judged using the speedo, it doesn't matter whether it's a "true" 60mph?

No it's not, it's pug 207 GT

 

[Martin_172]

imagine what my 1300kg DCi is with 110hp!! lol i think its double figures, i need to be well into 3rd to get 60mph!

I think book times are a bit more advanced than using speedo's these days, don't you. I mean if my speedo was far enough out I too could say I did 60 in 3 secs....

True... but they have to have a certain amount of accuracy from factory

Look mate, we arnt trying to bring your car down, the fact is however fast it feels or however fast the speedo shows, it isn't as fast as you think.

Simple physics. It weights 1.3 tonnes and before the map had 150bhp roughly. There is no way on earth it would be accelerating faster than a RS Clio ( which are alot lighter and have more power )

After the map, yeah sure it might be doing 7 secs or abit under but your initial statement was that as standard it was doing sub 7 second runs. Which I'm afraid is just impossible.

Peace out.

The fact that you took time to look at anything other than the boobs saddens me!!

I can't believe you could even think a car manufacturer would use an ordinary uncalibrated speedometer to work out the 0-60 time.
They can overread by up to 10% by law but cannot underread. That's massive if you're trying to work out an accurate 0-60.

And just lol @ "it doesn't matter if it's a true 60mph"

3 minutes of watching the tits. FYI
