50 to 80 in 5th

[fastphil]

Just wondering what time it should take an 8v to get from 50mph to 80mph in fifth gear.My 8v takes 14secs my wifes 16 valver takes 16 secs both standard exept for k&n in 8v

what about yours ??

I'll check

[Mr Blue]

mine takes 4-ever

[Veedubgt18v]

i will check on the way to work thi smorning

I think the reason why the 16v is slower is because it's not working at it's maxium power to rpm. they both seem really slow though

ill give it a burl on the way home at lunch!

though 50-80mph in 5th in a 16v is way below peak power. ur talkin 2.5k rpm - 4k rpm

there could be so many comments about torque and 8V's vs 16V's but I'll keep stum.......

i will check on the way to work thi smorning

from looking at the counter on the cd it takes 11 seconds................im sure that is highly accurate tho.......

roughly 12 seconds for 8v with K&N and 3/4 Milltek exhaust, and i mean roughly!

So its as accurate as measuring something by using your arms as a guide and walking to the other side of the room......................
