Really, "dozens of passes". It's funny to read how people that aren't there make wild assumptions on how it gets done. Typically it's about five passes or less to get the number. Remember that Motor Trend testers are professionals at testing. That's what they do and why they work where they do because they are the best. "Dozens of passes", you crack me up...

 

a stupid question, but is the subby all-wheel-drive? just wonderin coz he's the slowest on 0-60.

 

yeah all subys are awd

 

just like volvos

 

Huh, what? Most Volvos since the 850-series was introduced are front wheel drive. Some of the newer ones have all-wheel drive, but the majority are FWD.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he meant Evos.

 

I had 2 friends clock my ra 2 different times as they rode in the passenger seat from dead stop to 60mph... with competition stopwatches...mine ran 6.2, and 6.4 easily...probably could get a 6.0 if i were better on the shift...no mods other than drop-in K&N and 93 octane...period.

 

holy old thread batman

 

how do they know exactly when you got to 60? looking at the dial would be tough, especially from an angle. you'd need to hook into the ecu, plus you have to acount for at least a +-.1 second human delay on both start and stop

 

Well the ralliart is shining!! Its an underrated car but this car can pull, we all kno that till now. Great article ( old :P) and ralliart pride everyone

 

wow...well someone used the search button.... lol

 

 

Motor Trend uses the same type of radar (Ka band) that many police agencies use. It comes with its own dedicated software to allow any measurement as related to speed, time and/or distance.

 

i was talking about him saying his friend used a stop watch sitting in the vehicle

 

LOL! You allways find the appropriate gif PR!
