Your best pulls

where the EV drivers at? would make your ICE cars look like Snails run over by a truck.

maybe so, but even the weakest EV is still faster than a lot of ICE cars.
if robot to robot racing is your thing, EV's are the kings.

I recently loaded our car with 4 bags of luggage, cooler box, packets of groceries, 3 bikes, 2 blankets, 3 dolls, 1 soccer ball and a partridge in a pear tree, in like 7 minutes flat. In the dark. And I can confirm we eventually did reach 100km/h.

Totally agree. and Im not a denyalist. Electric is the future, though SA will probably lag by 10 years.
Robot to robot is boring though, cars getting heavier sucks

but again, its all about power to weight, and how EV's generate power,
its instant torque from nothing, so they are inherently faster,

do agree though, we will have to get used to that electric Whine, that sounds like a Milk float
until they sort out the method of generating electricity whether from batteries or Fuel cells, or whatever.

0-100 times will change quite drastically, and old ICE cars will be relegated to museums.

I am very afraid of the M32 gearbox my car has.

I have a working F28 gearbox with LSD in storage, 10 years ago I was going to do a conversion on my existing supie but instead I just bought a supie that was already converted.

best i could manage was a 4.2 sec 0 to 100

I remember Cars In Action's criteria to be a performance car was 0-100 in under 11 seconds. Times have really changed.

Apparently mine does 0 to 100 in 9.8, I seriously doubt that though. It's in dire need of extra power but that will only happen if I win the lotto.

My mind can't even comprehend that.

i went for a drive in a stage 2 GTR. it terrified me. And iv been in porsches and R8's. violent is the word that comes to mind.

I can only imagine.

Old vid but this was 40-120 in not many seconds

 

[6spdmanual]

My guess is my best would be 7.5 seconds.

must be a subaru right ?

 

[qscwbt]

must be a subaru right ?

Yes sir

Subaru impreza WRX STI version 6 JDM . 1 of the 12 jdm cars subaru SA imported.

Her stock 0 to 100 was 4.9 sec out the box. That is scary times for a car 21 years old. Few modern hot hatches come close to that time. She obviously have a few updates now.

 

[qscwbt]

here is her stock sheet

I drive a diesel so nothing impressive but it does make me want to get my motorbike in Strand fixed, that will do 0 to 100 in under 5

My KLR did 0 - 100 in about 6 seconds if I could keep the front wheel down, but anything past 100 was increasingly harder to achieve. I'd imagine any decent bike ie. not a KLR could do under 5 seconds, easy.

38rwhp only gets you so far
