I've measured mine using OBD software at 5.07 secs, not bad for an 8 year old I reckon, and that was before my upper pulley upgrade, no point trying again till winter's over. I've dragged mine a couple of times, and seem to have traction problems at the strip, with the obvious impact on times, but on a local bit of 'test' road I got my 5.07, repeatable to a tenth, guess I must just get better traction on that road.

 

djdex,
Did you simply mash the accelerator to the floor?Also what is OBD software? Thanks and take care,Dave

 

Yeah, I just hit the loud pedal hard as I can, on my test road it bogs down slightly as the traction control cuts in, but then it just picks up and launches like a scalded cat. On the strip I find that TC intervention is more pronounced, hitting my 0-60 time, mind you I did try it with TC off once, just sat there smoking my tyres.
OBD - it's the On Board Diagnostic connection that talks to the ECU, it allows to check fault codes and see many of the sensor readings the ECU uses to control the engine.

 

I like how you made that up!
