ddcboyle Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Anyone know if your able to buy a 0 to 60 timer? Something that maybe plugs into car computer? Closest thing is having to press that button on trip computer. Would be a good way of setting a base standard to work with when looking for mods.

ddcboyle Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Obd2 adaptor and torque app? Is that stuff accurate or is there a delay? I know it wont be pinpoint, but if I do 0 to 60 in 6.1, I want it atleast 6.2 not 7.5 You had one before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Uses GPS to measure it, so I'd guess its pretty accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddcboyle Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Its not really to find out my own mods, its more if I think car is losing power or just me being a dafty. One day the cars rapid and the next im wondering if someone stole my engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 0-60 won't tell you if you're losing power. That can be affected by more things driver-related than engine-related. What you need to do is time yourself in gear, and in just the one gear. Say, 30-70 in 3rd at WOT. Any timing app will work for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preferred to go round a tight corner at 40 to be honest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
