Performance car specs - 0.01 differentiator

[ALFAHOLIC]

A buddy I recently met showed me this...they do performance tests on various cars, except top speed, as that's a bit hectic.

Check it out, done with very accurate testing software, Beltronics Vector FX2Accelerometer...

What about altitude and weather conditions?

 

[ALFAHOLIC]

THis was all in JHB/PTA area I fink at Tarlton

Figures look fairly accurate.

I'm pretty much 1 second off the 156 2.5 V6 24 valve all the way, which seems a little too much though. But driver error, different cars etc - make sense

Elaborate pls

Using my brother Gtech, we got a 9.2km/h to 100km/h, a 16.7 1/4 mile at 139km/h on my stock RunX RSI.

He got a 8.3 sec to 100km/h, a 15.88 1/4 mile at 138km/h on his 156 with air filter.

Checking the specs of the Alfa, we should be very close - too close to call actually. I'd guess closer than those tested figures show. BUT with the difference in driver, individual car and even the road/weather conditions, those figures look fairly realistic.

My brother and this guy were actually going to meet and test the accuracy of each of their equipment ; but haven't as yet. He owns an Alfa, right?

 

[ALFAHOLIC]

N20 owns that Alfa, there's another dude with a GTV 3.0 he' s also busy with these kindsa things.

 

[Dolby]

That's it?

Not going to tell me it's impossible for stock 1.8 RunX to run anywhere near to an Alfa?

LOL not allowed to , did you not read my 1st written warning...3 strikes dude!

 

[Dolby]

Aw. Was looking forward to fighting with you :/

Oh well ...

 

[ALFAHOLIC]

Don't tempt me dude (gets out Alfa handbook: HOW TO DEFEND YOUR BRAND)

 

[Dolby]

You do notice that the modded 156 2.5V 24v actually has a slower exit speed than the stock RunX?

So that's a 40% larger engine, with 8 more valves and 200nm more torque .... where does it ago?

*stir*

 

[ALFAHOLIC]

*falls victim* the 156 V6 is not modded! only Intake lol and 20kg 18" wheels!

Dude here has a 1.6 Vtec...we skeerd him on a 800-900m stretch of road...he wanted to go robot to robot...what a Stooge!

 

[Dolby]

You race against Vtecs?

I'm wouldn't even waste my time :/

 

[ALFAHOLIC]

Yep we raced the Vtec...it screamed as always...but killed us till about 300m then ze v6 was on par...

I do believe a 156 V6 with exhaust, intake and chip will kill off a Vtec...imho

 

[Dolby]

Thats cute :/

 

[UtterNutter]

Careful, dude:

Using my brother Gtech, we got a 9.2km/h to 100km/h, a 16.7 1/4 mile at 139km/h on my stock RunX RSI.?

and

So that's a 40% larger engine, with 8 more valves and 200nm more torque .... where does it ago?

So the 156 has 380Nm of torque? What kind of "air filter" does he have?

 

[Dolby]

Ah the first was just a typo ...

I actually couldn't be bothered to check the reall torque, as I was messing with Alfa more than anything

Not sure about the filter (on a phone now), but its on the site he pasted.

 

[ALFAHOLIC]

I think its a BMC filter...lol the 156 will truly kill your RunX mate...call up these guys they like to dice...and plus we know...your Run(Walk)X is NOT REALLY 140 odd KW!!! LMAO

 

[Dolby]

and plus we know...your Run(Walk)X is NOT REALLY 140 odd KW!!! LMAO

Which is even more sad, that a flawed and underpowered car runs with a 156 ... and has a higher exit speed after 1/4 mile :/
