Lol. I done mine with my friends ipod and it reckons i got 6.6 secs.

evo magazine does tests 0-60mph which is just short of 100km/h and for some cars the difference between having another gearchange or not (2nd to 3rd) hence their slightly faster accel.times. also some magazines average the best of several runs in 2 directions, others post an outright best achieved, some test with a passenger, others are driver only, some magazines used to hand-time (!!) others use correvitt data logger, now GPS has become the most popular..and then there is the ability of the driver and the ambient and surface conditions of the day, condition of the car tested (brand-new, very low-kms cars tend to be a little slower than others with a few thousand kms on the odo).
..
from personal experience with my dc2r using a gtech meter, combined with Motor magazine statistics, i think its fair to expect a stock well maintained aus-spec dc2r to do 6.8-7s 0-100km/h and 15s 0-400m, while a stock well maintained aus-spec dc5r should be a few tenths slower.

my dc5r (not stock) got 6.6 and on redbook it says stock its done it in 6.2 sec

but i got it done with someone pressing start and stop

my DC2 does around 5 seconds 0-100 these days...

160kW at the tyres kinda helps though...

[ChargeR]

Indeed it does.


Showoff .

lol what'd you do to get 160? fi? and shouldn't 149 at the wheels should be getting under 5.....

Laws of diminishing returns. Just because there's more power doesn't mean it's going to get there quicker. There's the added trickery of getting traction.

Dave has a built B20 FYI.

my stock dc5r got 6.6 and on redbook it says its done it in 6.2 sec

Not a chance. RedBook quotes the manufacturer and Honda have claimed 6.2 0-100 for the Dc5 and FN2 despite both being proven wrong. Japanese manufacturers exaggerate 0-100 and European manufacturers under call theirs. It's a pointless point of measurement as the driver is the biggest factor in measuring 0-100.

You can't stopwatch off the speedo. They're not accurate enough.

JDM DC5R (220PS) is very close to a JDM DC2R (200PS) to 100 and faster over the 1/4 mile.

AUDM has the same motor as the USDM Type S with 200PS so assuming the ratios are similar it might be a better comparison. it's not really going to do the same times as the UK/Euro model which is almost identical to the JDM model.

fwd + street tyres + 2 gear changes says no...

I think after seeing all the discussion it comes down to 1 factor ...... DRIVER's weight
hehehhehe ......

I am 120kg and i think my car will be slightly slower than most of you guys that weight less than me ......
