0 to 100 times can vary alot, probally the only way to no if your car is quick is to go down the quarter mile

That's pretty good for an AU, considering FGs are doing about those times stock with alot newer/powerful edition of the I6. Has yours been tuned? If not then there is potential to crack 6.xx seconds I would think.

I wouldnt complain about that. With all the mods I had on mine, and slicks on a prepped drag track I was getting 6.xx


This is in the car, it had 3.9's so stop timing @ 130km/h.

I got consistently around the 8 second mark with a stopwatch ^^^.
Its a very hard thing to measure with a stopwatch, too many variables. Whats a better way of doing it? And please dont say Gtech.

Why not the new ones are quite accurate, that old black one is not!

iPhone apps I have also proven to be accurate when used on the drag strip comparing it to the time slip

The ABS light used to stay on as well, the handbrake light only ent off if you pushed down with all your might on it, and the ABS stayed on as I didnt have a sensor on the passenger side front.
