Just for fun I thought I would post my 0-60 this morning. Not sure how accurate this is, but the app is connected directly to my speed sensor via the OBDII port. Comments/critisis

ms welcomed..

Very cool!

I've been trying to find a (reasonably) cheap but accurate way to measure my 0-60 time.

OBD-II isn't an option on the Roadster. There's a few devices that will do it but, they're not cheap - and I don't want to spend $300+ on a box I'm going to use twice as a "gee, that's neat" thing...and then never use it again.

Let me know if you want to race, next time we all get together (on a track, of course)!

Hey Buddy

Let's definitely meet up at the track next time. Honestly I'm a little nervous about going to the track but I need to get over that..

Did you say that you don't think an OBD2 device is good for our cars? I just have a wireless device hooked up to my OBD2 and then link it to my iphone. I wouldn't say it is necessarily accurate, but since it is connected to the computer and speed sensor, maybe it is accurate?

Not to start up this contentious issue again, but I am in the camp that our cars don't really do 0-60 in under 6 seconds unless heavily modified. SilverBullett 5.7 on the track, if I recall correctly, and that car is full of performance mods.

I'd just be happy if my car did a verified 5.9 seconds or even low 6's :-)

Greg - I can sit in the passenger seat and run the stopwatch for you. Just trying to be helpful!

I do 5.8 best time. greg will do under 5.7 now and he is still stock

LexBrett

5.8 would make sense with mods

there are guys that run in the 5's

LexBrett

Just spoke with my brother and he said he cross referenced his 0-60 on this app with his track run, and he said he was amazed how accurate the app is.

I guess I must have been going slightly down hill!!

if your right the 3.76 rear will do 5.3 maybe 5.2 real nice. 1/10 is not easy 2 get.

in my race days I was 1/10 off the record and I tried every thing an could not get there.

Not "our cars"...it doesn't work in the Tesla (it was a joke...but not a very good one if I have to explain it in a follow-up post)


Specs say the Roadster will do it (stock) in 3.9 sec...and it certainly feels like it!

I once lost a qualifying time by 0.04 second. That really suck.

Will the 3.76 supra diff make that much of a difference? I was talking to a friend of mine and he told me no. I bought this car with this mod already done

How much would something like this cost?

LexBrett

This is a $50 iphone app. Plus you need to get the wifi transmitter for your ob2 ports. Let me know and I can write up a tutorial when I have a chance.
