 ok these are not scientific test conditions so you can allow for a couple of tenths of a sec,

Try more like a couple of seconds, not tenths! Then allow for speedo over reading by say 10% so you probably got to 54mph in about 9.5 seconds!!  ;D :P

the best way is by GPS
Used to have a '97 MK3 16v GTI 3dr in 'Black Magic'... now have a '55 Civic Type-S...

i'm with iball on this one. allow for the speedo misread.

i have a 97/r 8v with 74k miles - and serviced regularly. i can get to about 9.5 now but no quicker. i used to have a 306 xsi 16v - 135bhp model and i could get a max 8.0 0-60 and that was a load quicker than the 8v.

maybe its not standard and you dont realise it, or maybe your mate is eager with a stop watch! ;)

or maybe hes allowed for the 7% misread and hes actually hit 64mph not 62 (yes 62 not 60 get with the times lol)

maybe his mate was slow with the stop watch?

My bad, there was me thinking if you were timing the 0-60  of a car (as previoulsy stated) you actually timed 0-60, not 0-62. His mate could have been slow stopping it, could also have been slow starting it.

Hence the reason you CANNOT get an accurate 0-60mph (or if you want to be a picky tw@t 0-100Km/h) using a mate and a stop watch, as noted above, GPS/proper timing gear is the only way.

Plus everyone knows the 8v can't get there in less than 10 secs unless heavily modded! ;D

Oh hang on, just noticed the thread title is 0-60 and the 8v got there in 8.5 secs. Obvioulsy this is correct as the chap who started the thread missed the km/h off the 0-60 bit.

I can believe it would get to 60km/h in about 8.5 secs!!!  :D
