Lots of 0-150 stuff. Right up your alley Allan and Mako!

 

The S7 TT does it in 12.1

 

The Lambo Mercie does it in 21.2, Ford GT 19.5!, Viper 24.1 and POS 28.9

 

The S7 is extremely fast! 100MPH-150 in 5.7!

damn that s7 is flying!!!!! i wanan see a tt murcie do. or what the c6 Plastic mess-06 will do it in.

It sure is flying. To put its 100-150MPH time in perspective, look at this:

 

100-150mph

 

S7 TT: 5.7

Ford GT: 10.9

Lambo:11.7

Viper: 14.6

POS: 18.2

 

For modded cars:

Hennessey Viper: 4.7

Rufs Turbos: 9.2/9.3

Vortec Mustang GT: 10.9

Thanks Viper, I love collecting 0-150mph times.

 

The S7 time is plain nuts, and here's another little tidbit: All the times are slow.

 

It must have been hot that day (95+), or traction was a problem, because I have 0-150mph times in both Europe and the US for each of the cars they tested being much faster via averaging. Deduct a full 1.5-2.0 seconds on the Murcie, Viper, POS, and Ford GT listed in that piece to get the true time in perfect conditions (72 degrees, low altitude, good traction, optical 5th wheel timing).

 

Not sure what to deduct off the S7 TT because to take off a full two seconds on it isn't feasible lol. That would put it in the "space shuttle" class of performance. :mrgreen:

 

The next question in this thread will undoubtedly be:

 

"OMG WHAT DOES THE MCLAREN F1 TAKE TO DO 0-150???111???"

 

lol, settle down, here's your answer: 12.8 seconds under optimal conditions.

those are some good specs to classify supercars with... any enzo and cgt times?

21.2 for the Murci is a slow time. But the S7TT is very fast!

No printed 0-150mph times for the Enzo or CGT exist, but extrapolating results from their printed Euro results (0-124mph which is 200kph and 0-186mph which is 300kph) has the Enzo around 13.5 seconds and the CGT around 14.5 seconds to 150mph.

 

Here are a few official times to pour over.

Man I love the McLaren F1

Here is one more for you MAKO:

 

0-154 for an F18 Hornet: 11.9 :mrgreen:

lol don't tell that time to Pantera, he'll be posting it for weeks...

 

"Yeah the Veyron is nice and all, but I think I would still take an F18 Super Hornet with external fuel tanks and a LANTIRN pod instead, because it has a faster launch from a stop. And it flies and stuff."

Something to note about the S7 vs Mclaren F1 though.

 

If memory serves me, the McLaren F1 does 0-200 in 28 seconds.

 

The S7 TT did 0-200 MPH in 23.4 seconds!!!!

You would be correct.

 

Bugatti engineers have targetted 14 seconds to 180mph as one of the Veyron's performance goals, the McLaren takes a little over 21 seconds to get to the same mark.

 

At the end of the day, HP and good aero wins, and it sounds like the S7 TT has plenty of both.

Actually the only known 0-150 time for the Enzo is 13.1 seconds. It was set during the autocar test at Fiorano. I would normally use that as an argument that the Enzo is actually a little slower than that, but the Enzo tests didn't work out like the F430 tests.

 

Both the R&T and 0-100-0 autocar independent tests were as fast or faster than the tests at Fiorano. So the Enzo is probably a 13 second flat 0-150mph car.

Fiorano's only straight isn't long enough for an Enzo to exceed 130mph from a launch.

 

Magazines that produce results there for the Enzo or any other car past that speed are using computer based software to extrapolate out a time, fyi.

 

Regardless, the time is around 13.5 seconds, +/- the usual 0.3 for conditions.

shit...it took me like 30 or 40 seconds to top out my SS back in the day...wow do i feel slow...oh well, guess the t76 will make up for it.

So far i like what i see.

Here is one more for you MAKO:

 

0-154 for an F18 Hornet: 11.9 :mrgreen:

 

Compared to a P 917-30 that's slow. 0-200 in 11 seconds.

That's a good point, I had forgotten about that. Even so, the extrapolation isn't necessarily false, it probably wasn't perfectly accurate, but considering that the Enzo has had several slightly better tests I don't see why even the extrapolated times are unreachable.

Didn't say the extrapolated numbers were fake, or wrong. Just educating the group that they shouldn't believe everything put into print. Think outside the box. Research. Learn.

 

Magazines are a helpful tool, but they aren't God. Internet car message boards have a problem with that, luckily they have a few "enlightened" people who post objective opinions that come from multiple sources.

yea my POS averages 25 seconds per what im reading. ive heard i can drop that time by almost 3 seconds by switching to aluminium flywheel and better clutch assembly. getting rotational mass down really improves performance. lighter wheels, drive shafts, and anything that spins and connects the motor to the wheels.

You're not dropping three seconds just from a flywheel and a new clutch.

 

That time gain would require the equivalent of adding nearly 75hp to your car, you'd be lucky to drop 0.5 seconds from those two additions. And most of that is used up at the launch, let alone three full seconds to 150mph.

 

As an example, Lingenfelter's own C6 402 car, which has 510hp, takes 21 seconds to get to 150mph. You're not knocking on that car's door by swapping out your flywheel man.

On a Turbo Charged car, you can help those 0-150 times by installing SSBOV's. This will prevent you from any backflow, thus loss of power, on the up-shifts... hence a much healther, smoother (provided proper shifting technique) and QUICKER ETA to the Goal!

 

On a Non-Turbo/Superchared car... Install a Turbo or Supercharger :supz:

heres a good article. http://vetteweb.com/tech/0407vet_flywheel/ they did two cars and on the dyno the modded car made its pull over 2 seconds faster and the stock one 3. was done on a dyno so its not real world but its proven by numbers for those who race on numbers.... :finga:

Absolutely dreaming, could care less about that article and it's "data".

 

Do it in real life, using even just a rudimentary G-Tech timing device and then I'll believe the hype. Oh, and be sure to call up the Lingenfelter people and tell them they've got it all wrong, they don't need to so heavily modify a POS's engine to get it down to 21 seconds. All they need is a clutch and flywheel.

 

Come on man...think.
