Do you ever wonder if MAYBE the track apps is not 100% accurate in your car?
I bring that up bc in my stock '16 BASE (so lighter - but less torque and a 6r80) I am able to achieve 5.5 secs 0-60 in 70s temps using a 1500 rpm launch. Without a launch and same temps, 5.7 - 5.8 sec. In 90s temp, 6.1...
I have not raced against a 5th gen SS, I did have some fun with a 6th gen SS, though LMAO.
By the time I hit 80 mph, he had put about 2 car lengths on me...So there's that.
As for a GT, I found one last year around November, when temps are great for the turbo (about 65F), the GT was a...
Mines a NON PP auto. I read somewhere that the manual PP ( as I see you have) might be slower bc it requires a shift to third?
idk but my times were achieved by just putting the car in S mode, launching at 1500 rpms. Temps were 72 F in relatively low humidity. WITHOUT launching id get 5.7 - 5.8...
I said I would wait until colder temps but I couldn't resist. lol
I did one more run tonight in the same spot :cwl::) just to see if MAYBE I could improve it. I did. by a tad.
9.5 sec @ 78 mph. (from 9.6 @ 78 mph)
60 ft went down from 2.6s to 2.3s <----- I feel pretty confident I can still get...
Appreciate the input! Ill work on the 60 ft ...
My tire psi were at 33 each..does that matter a lot?
Anyway, Ill also wait until temps cool down a bit. I was able to achieve my 2.2 and 5.5 seconds in 70's temps... but yesterday was still hot and humid.
Yes, I typically "soft" launch @ 1500 rpms as I feel I dont spin too much (or at all), though, of course, depends on the road conditions.
I will keep an eye on the 60 ft! Ill also wait until temps get a bit better, yesterday it was still pretty hot and humid even though it was night time (damn...
Damn , really? mid to upper 1/4 mile? lol
Do you know how accurate the track apps is?
Ive seen some videos of ppl using dragy and getting similar results to mine in cars that are "rated" slower than mine.
Granted I only did one run, didnt do a few to see if I could get better. And , yes, its a...
Out of boredom tonight I went out with the need to record a 1/8 mi run with the track apps. I've owned this car for 3.5 years but never actually did a run WITH the track apps on.
I want to get some input from some of you if my numbers look "okay" for a stock car, and what some of those #'s...
I feel funny reading the title "Ecoboost HPP versus Altima VC Turbo" lol
Its not even comparable to my non HPP...
Anyway, if I was in the market for a FWD sedan, Id go for the Accord Sport 2.0t. Its actually a pretty quick car, its close in performance with a pre '18 EB mustang rated at 5.6 -...
The CVT issues have been reported on the internet and youtube. Just look it up. Id never buy a Nissan because most of their cars are CVT, at least the only nice car I think they have, the maxima, is CVT. Also, I dont like the CVT whine.
I think youre gonna have more fun in a mustang. but...
It is ultimately your decision, obviously.
I bet if you went into your test drive of the Altima 2.0T with a GPS performance meter, its 0-60 would NOT be 6.5 sec , especially with 50 miles in the odometer as it probably had also.
Engine 2.0L VC-Turbo
Horsepower 248 @ 5,600 rpm (premium fuel)...
My post got all mixed up:
When you say base altima and optima, you mean the naturally aspirated ones with 180 hp , more or less?
Have you test driven them with only 50 miles in the odometer and timed their 0-60s with a GPS performance meter? I am willing to bet that their 0-60s would be way...
You can launch an auto , too.
You put your left foot on the brake and with your right foot bring the rpms up to 1500 rpms (some do 2000 rpms), I found the sweet spot at 1500 rpms. Once youre ready to go, step off the brake.
I am also hoping some HPP owners jump in to give their input in the performance of the car. I , too, am amazed at how there is NOTHING out there lol. Its almost been a year since articles started coming out raving about it but then NADA , ZILCH!
And, based on the video I posted, nothing to be...
Here:
At around minute 2: 45 he shows his ALL BEST TIME RESULTS.
I asked the guy and he said he wasnt pumping 93, he was under the idea that pumping less only affected TORQUE but NOT HORSEPOWER.
Anyway, Id expect better from the HPP, either way. However, at only 50 miles in the odometer and...
I do not own an HPP but youre gonna have to add more details so that when those that own the HPP can help you better.
Did you test drive the coupe or convertible?
10r80?
How many miles in the car? Assuming that since it was a test drive - less than 100 miles in the odometer.
Temps / DA during...
