[paddy quinn]

I bet you will get banned quicker than it can do a 1/4 for text typing lol

[Angus Closier]

Cut the text talk it wont get you anywhere. There are a few members with the boost and fuel turned up a bit which are nearly gsi speed irrc. Standard they are fairly slow!

[Jack]

0-62mph 13s
1/4mile 19s
Top 103mph

according to carfolio.

0-62 7.5s

[mowgli]

measured using what method??

[bazil]

0-62 7.5s

fcuk me I'm selling my S3 and getting a nova then lol

[mowgli]

it'd struggle to do 62kph in 7.5 seconds....

[paddy quinn]

fcuk me I'm selling my S3 and getting a nova then lolthis is a td ive seen mind thts 0-60 mind just round it to 8s

[bazil]

Well for comparison

Audi S3 with APY 1.8 turbo 20valve quattro is 0-62 in 6.7 seconds
my dad had a td nova it wasnt anywhere near as fast.

[Count Vaux Alot]

I've had a 1.5td and although it was sprightly it was never 7.5 secs lol I think the figs jack quoted are reasonably accurate - unless yours is something special?

[paddy quinn]

go on youtube and put in vauxhall nova td guy called dave doing 0-60 in 7.5 to 8s

[mowgli]

right, so using the speedo on a 15-20 year old car is about as accurate as labour finance ministers facts.

[Angus Closier]

i find it easier

I'm fairly sure we have a language for a reason? No one gets it right all the time but you just dont try. Plus people on here dont like it:thumb:

Standard?

[MK999]

60 -15% (seems to be what most novas are out by) is 51, rolling start I assume and some dodgy counting it probably does 0-51 in about 9-10 seconds. El Rapido.

[Dervy]

the best 0-60 time iv had out of my astra is 9s and mines a 1.7 td running a silly amount of boost which has doubled the power.

although there is corsa that iv seen on youtube that runs a 1.5 td at 36psi

Oh and the time was messured from a recording of a Sat Nav speedometre :) so is 100% true,

And when she was standard I got something like 13.5 seconds to 60

[Balley]

Same, extreamly annoying when you just want to feel the boost in the lower 2 gears with out it just spinning up!

Public GPS isn't as accurate as everyone seems to make out!

so true.... our wagons are restricted to 56mph, and on flat sections on motorway the tracker regularly says 65+mph, when it is physically impossible.

the only accurate measure is still the comedy bike wheel on the back bumper and some clever maths.
