How do you measure them? :confused:

 

Stopwatch and a keen eye, Laser beams and high tech stuff?

 

And who's got the best time!

 

Pete

To do it correctly you need lazer or radar system.

 

The Z's speedo isnt that great and saying to your mate start and stop when you accelerate give you a rough idea but it is very rough.

in the Demon Tweeks catalogue, they've got a couple of things that measure your 0-60, BHP, torque and other things. I've no idea how good they are though.........

Me in Daventry to mate,not seen ya post s before, how did i miss that,you got a zed,not seen another about?,if you have ,fancy meeting up!(even if you dont have a zed ):)

i got a timer at the mo (my mates actually) stick it on the screen & it does 0-60 & 60-0 braking time. works it out on g force (god knows how it knows when you hit 60! anyone????) but seems damn accurate.

 

done 5.9 secs when i was totally stock, without giving the clutch a hard time off the mark. want to try again now iv done a few minor mods but its been too damn wet so far.

Like one of these jobbies ?

which i just so happen to have for sale :D

Warren, does this plug straight into the Live Unit? if it does how much dollar you want for it mate>?

I wondered about this too then tried to remember the Newtonian physics stuff from school. Its got to be that the precision accelerometer knows the instantaneous acceleration or head snappin "g"s from the zero mph point - it then knows the change in velocity over time increments and does the math calculus stuff to work out speed versus time. Hence knows when it has passed the 60mph mark. Obviously it needs to know where it started or stopped from as a reference.

 

On the 60 to 0 time I am guessing that it works backwards from knowing again when it has hit zero and mapping the deceleration against time all the way down.
