Speed

Post by harry90 »

i dont really think this is too fast in regards to the times... but this was done by me on a highway after stopping and taking off from middle lane....
btw it is a 1996 gpx with no engine modifications

0-100 in 10 seconds

Sorry, had to edit the second line out (for your benefit and the clubs ;) ). All sorts of people browse the forum....

Standard time from 0-100 is about the 7 second mark from memory (a little slower than that in a tiptronic though)

    i have a stock GPX manual and although i have never actually timed i have counted and i think it was just under or very close to 7 seconds.

    so i personally think that 10s for a GPX FTO is slow

    Bad...very bad... a stock auto fto should be able to do high 7s if launched properly. Even with no launch (i.e. off brake and just stomp it), i would expect low 8's give or take.

    My old auto 1.6 corolla did it in 10s =/ (modded but still..).

    Sorry don't mean to be harsh.

    maggsy,
    Stock manny fto launched properly is around the low 7 mark...pretty accurate counting you got there :P

      yup

      hance shifting close the red line (by that i mean where red starts, not with the needle pointing to 9000rpm lol.... does anyone else remember the huge argument about speed at red line in first gear? think that's why simon chucked a hissy :P and avoided the forum for a yr lol)
