The speedo sounds out. I think I heard 58's the true speed?

 

[swissrebel]

I say that - i'm under the impression all the speedos are out by some margin?

[BCM]

Yes to both questions.

 

[skahigh]

please god read the thread i posted, all will become clear!!!!

 

[chriswilks]

no way when im doing 40 through a speed camera does anyone come past me.and no way that.....you know what i just cant let this go!!! im not having it.ive done rolling starts at 50 before and its been the same in the other cars!!! SOMEBODY BACK ME UP HERE!!

 

[chriswilks]

ive posted in that thread!!

 

[BCM]

I'll back you up, your speedo is telling you that your doing 60 plus, but science, engineering and general facts are telling you that you ain't!
Read that post above!

 

[swissrebel]

Let the anger fill you. 60 is a useless figure anyway.

 

[chriswilks]

right im still not having this....what if there is a few freak gearboxes out there.no way its that far out.if thats the case my 0-60 time must be bout 8- 9 secs with a remap tb exhuast and filter...come on guys look a little deeper into this.

 

[swissrebel]

They have looked deeper. Hence, the linked thread.

 

[chriswilks]

ok ill have you a race then!you wont be that far behind if this is the case!!!!

 

[swissrebel]

In my 1.6?

Hmm...

...come on guys look a little deeper into this.

if i remember rightly we looked right down to diff and gear ratios - doesn't go any deeper

let me know your model / chassis / tyre size / wheel size / rev limit / engine code /gear box code and i'll gladly supply you all the info you need to satisfy you what speed your car is actually doing.

meantime try the other 4 gears - goes even faster then
