Wondering of anyone has any zero to 60 times they would like to share. I have the PocketDyno app that uses the phones accelerometer to measure things like acceleration, g force, WHP, and reaction time. Not sure how accurate these things are but its fun to play with.

 

0-60 in slow.2 secs.

 

Its all relative./

 

^i just wanted to say that.

carry on!

 

How does the app work? Just keep your phone in your pocket or what?
Bout to download this since I jail broke my phone haha

6 Speed Manual - Sedan
7.7 Seconds

 

That's actually pretty quick.

 

Somehow, i just don't feel the TSX (Accord Euro in Aus) is anywhere near the figure in the review. Always felt like a 10 sec car (not quart mile 10secs but 0-60......)

 

That must mean his app is pretty accurate

 

You have to secure it place. I just wedge my phone in the display screen area. Motor trend has the 2010 manual doing it 7 seconds flat and thats with the stock all seasons. Either traction is way better on a dedicated race track or Im a terrible drive. Probably a combination of both. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...t/viewall.html

 

The v6 comes does 0 to 60 in 6.4 (per Edmunds)

Cool I wanna try

 

Ill try it

 

Too many cops around here for me to try.

 

If I can find an app for android I'll test it out this weekend on my adventure to Austin. I've taken a few videos of me going 0-60 but looking at a video time isnt very accurate.

 

I think its more accurate cause you can see when you start and end.

 

I just downloaded the app... anyone wanna help me with sync?

Like weight of car and stuff?

 

take a guess based on the car's published weight. you know your weight and gas weighs about 6lbs per gallon.

 

Ok so Curb wieght (including a full tank, not including driver/passengers) is 3,470 lb(1,574kg) AT or 3,400lb(1,542kg) MT

 

I was just bitching in the other thread about this the other day. I took a video so I could really focus on the needle and time it. I got 7.8 give or take 2 tenths. And I got some wheel spin but it didn't cut power so I'm thinking it's just about right. That is in an automatic as well. So I guess I'm a whole second faster than all the stockies besides the 6MTs. I think I'm right on par with those.

 

Here. Just posted this to Youtube and the general info thread.

 

Just looked at my 0-60 times from the videos I took last weekend on my way to houston. Trimming the video, my time comes out to about 6.5s give or take .25s. I didnt use the paddle shifters or anything, I just mashed the pedal in D. There was a lot of tire spin.

 

Where do you place the phone to take the vid above?

 

That was me being a one-handed warrior. And it was a bitch to keep it there because I usually use both hands all the time.

 

Someone said to wedge it in between the dash screen.

I havent figured out how to hit the button and accelerate at the same exact moment. I might need a passenger to help me out.

 

The app won't start until you move it i.e. when you start driving. That how it works.

 

hmmm

Every time I tested it out, it said touch the stoplight, maybe I missed something.

 

Yeah you touch it but it won't start the time until it senses the car moving

 

ryan, if you learn to feather the gas, instead of mashing it, i bet you'll get a quicker time.

traction traction traction.
or upgrade to better tires.

 

I tried to ease a bit instead of mashing it in the take off. After the third time I started to get a little better. I will also be getting new tires soon (summer tires) so I will get to see the difference they make.

 

I used to race against my friends 84 monte carlo ss.
we would both get so excited from a dig, that we both would spin all the way up to 40. lol

its hard to control your adrenaline!!

 

I gave it a try today. My 0-60 was 7.3sec with me, my main lady, and random stuff in trunk (10qts oil, tools, etc). It was also slightly uphill.

HOWEVER...the estimate was 475whp (I estimated car weight 4000lbs) and it said the maximum speed was 110.61mph, but I only reached 65mph before I let off the gas.

 

Sounds about right.

 

This thing is surprisingly accurate. I took my car up to 50 and it read my speed as 53 which is about right cause my wheels are bigger. I wasn't really trying and changed my gears at 6500 and not red lining like i should have but by 0-50 was 6.9. I assume that's pretty accurate lol

 

Havent had a chance to test this out on an open road yet.

How does the app know the difference between shifting and letting off the gas?

 

For people that post up their times, might be good if you guys can also indicate if yours' a I4 or the V6 version.

 

If I'm running ~7.8 in a V6 with mods, shoot me.

 

Hey, its possible if someone's not good at dragging their car. (like me as i don't feel like my tsx's doing anywhere near 8.x secs.....)

 

I plan to try it again.

It may be obvious from my avatar, but my time was from a v6.
