I'd like to see 8 seconds flat on a G tech timer with a standard N/A...won't happen...and if it does, you'll have to be bang on the mark with launch and gear change. It'll be closer to 9 on average. Still decent for a daily driver but don't expect to be beating Commodores and Falcons unless they are shit drivers.

Damn. That's as slow (or fast?) as my 2010 Mazda 3...and no it wasn't an MPS!

It's slower than my fat magna too, but speed really isn't everything. I think na drivers have a sh!t time of it, I was looking at gts's them for my p-plated brother and they're just too expensive. r33 s1 gtst's are now as low as 6k, and not for a shocking example either! Just gotta remember that it's an aweful lot more fun than the magna, and in any sort of traffic they're as fast as a veyron

Rofl.

Sure its not a 20E?

Maybe he's just honest, shifted lazily, didn't go to heaps of effort to time it, didn't get a formula 1 star start, doesn't have ideal suspension or tyres etc... did i mention honest? A lot more na skylines can do 12.4 than can do 8 flats.

My point being, sisters SR20DE auto, just punching drive got 10secs...

well i was lazy and scared of an animal runing in the road as i was trying it so it was not going to be the best. but i do need more practice of corse but hey it is what it is verry bad cant say it was good at all. not even for a first try ever for a 0/100 in any car so im going to try it again but not going to let it ruin my day cuz it was a slow time.

If you want to do it seriously do it at the drag strip. Otherwise you're just begging to get booked unfortunately.

Just because he did a 12.4 doesn't mean the engine isn't up to scratch, it just means he wasn't trying to put his license on the line or hurt anyone.

Hope you're not letting these guys get on your nerves. To to an awesome 0-100 you have to nacker the car, like really punish it. You also should do it on a hot day, on very expensive street legal tyres. You should be on stock suspension, or modified suspension for the strip, you have to have you're foot hard on the brake and build up the revs heaps, giving hell to the torque converter. Then when you go you have to make sure you're getting good productive wheelspin from those super expensive tyres (tyre have the most grip at ~10-15% slippage) etc etc.

In a manual skyline for example, you'd only get 5-10 hardcore goes on a stock clutch before it was ruined.

no no i know people are just havin fun im just saying its not going to ruin my day :thumbsup: . i knew i should have added a smile but left it out so my bad .

well i did it on an empty road where i could see if there was anyone around i dont plan to do it for the heack of it. besides all i need is a wallabe bouncing into my front bumper to make my day :yucky:

I don't get it.

I sat at lights on a highway, where the speed limit is 100.

Light changed, foot off brake, onto accelerator, push accelerator to floor, 2 hands on steering wheel?

Granny snail driver in their white box Corolla see you doing this & not taking 1-2 minutes to accelerate up to 100km/h (like the rest of the snails on the road), think to themselves "bloody f**ken hoons" & call the hoon hotline on you for hooning... :whistling:

Also I keep on hearing that Police can book you for "excessive acceleration", however I've yet to find that particular clause in the traffic hand book.

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
