Nigel's how to: time ur 0-60 speed Options

[Nigel]

I just tried to test the power of my car the simple way, striaght line counting elephants as seconds.
0-60 in 7 elephants so im guessing my car is 0-60 in 7-8 seconds.
COol
It was like something out of GTA as i hit 60mph a police hellicopter went over head, i wish i took my camcorda to show you, it was mint.

im sorry but this post should be burned and sent to hell, lol, that was the crappy'ist how-to i've ever read.

[creis]

just as bad as my how to: weigh your car (take it to the dump and get a recept.)

but cool, 7 sec is kinda slow are you sure you spaced the elephants out right? or manybe they just walked around and out out of place.

I was joking about the elephants man, British sence of humour.
PS yeah burn it
PSS im hypo today its my bd.

I have a stop watch in my car to time every thing. Everywere I go, or 0-whatever times. It's a nice addition.

last time I heard celicas were like 11 second cars on 0-60 mph

if you meant 0-60 kilometers.. maybe 6 seconds.. so technically you were right when you said 6-7 seconds

You know, I was just thinking a few days ago that a stopwatch would be nice to have in the car. I'd like to time a few different routes to the most common places I go. Or turnpike times, haha.

I kept telling myself I wanted to do that, then I finally did. It's neat once you figure it out. It's also a good way of solving arguements with friends on what is the fastest way to get places. That was the reason I finally got one. Turns out, I was right about the fastest way to get to the movies, but now I have proof.

in this issue of car and driver...it says the 94 celica gt has a 0-60 in 8.7 secs...

here is a thread on it (with the issue)...

...i think they are probably right...it is more likely that the counting (and or stop watching) are off...

what do you think?

later,

edit: here is the quote: "Toyota claims a 0-60 time of 8.7 seconds for the new GT"

I think counting is in accurate, but stop watch is accurate. How do you think they test it? It's a lot more accurate if someone else does the timing. These cars are slow enough that it's easier too. If I had a car that would do 0-60 in something like 5-6 or less, it'd be harder to be accurate. I really don't see how you can compare a stopwatch with "counting elephants."
