We need incar

Find your nearest highway, pull off to the side, then wait for a clear run in traffic and floor it to 100!

It sounds better in real life...
I used my slr with a tripod to do this one :p
Not sure where to mount camera incar.

Just get a passenger to hold it sitting on the dash

He got a tip. Can do it by himself.

Filmed mine with a hand holding the camera and another hand on steering wheel.. all the way to 190.
Felt stable and safe at that speed without any worry at all, even with just a single hand on steering wheel and mine is wing-less as well with core-sports edge boot lip.

Of course, this is done on track at straight course section.

A track where you don't have to wear a helmet

See face flesh in dash reflection

It's called the Natural Selection track, more people need to use it, the lucky ones come out with a video, the bad ones don't. lol

Never hit rev limit myself, interesting to note.

Not trying to dog on you or anything phunky but that seems like a LONG time for you to hit limit from 100 - was track uphill or anything? surely that aint the best that thing can do lol

phunkydude · Post by **phunkydude** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 10:42 am

It starts from 80 to the limit on flat surface.
Yea, i'm thinking the same thing as well. FTO should go faster than this.
But there isn't any other to compare to. Either mine sux, or could be the placebo effect from the adrenaline that everyone thinking theirs faster when doing a happy run

Mine is 4 speed tip though. I expect 5 speed to be more responsive due to gear ratio.
My 3rd gear from starts from 125 to limit is pain in the arse looking at the rpm. It's like a never-ending wait for another gear.

Taz · Post by **Taz** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 6:39 pm

Only a 4 speed tip

need to trade that sh*t in for a manual!
will have to get a bodgy phone video of mine getting up to speed and atleast then you will have a rough benchmark

Just got to find a suitable time and place in brisbane to do this "safely" *cough*

I forgot the silver ones doesn't belongs to me anymore. Sold it 2 days ago.

By the way valandis, I only heard the video properly on a proper sound system and it sounds similar to my exhaust system

I know the shifting was slow but for some reason at that time I didn't feel like a little screech

Valandis91 · Post by **Valandis91** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 7:27 pm

P.s. i was suffering from major understeer on the way back!

I'm not going to bother arguing how fast it is.

But its definitely way more responsive than a stock fto that I drove...
I'll try get a 0-100 somehow... somewhere, need more track time

FTO AUSTRALIA
