0 to 60

[geezerstiva]

[fastivaca]

Reminds me of one of the ads when the new Bettle was first available...

0-60? Yes

[todd00]

isnt it about 12 seconds?

[xanthinic12]

a minute?

[oxbrain]

10-12 seconds depending on what year and how much you weigh. That is assuming the engine is in great shape too.

0 - 60 = pack lunch and dinner :roll:

It'll go from 0-60 in 10 seconds....


...if you redline it in every gear! :lol:

[ToTalXS]

Festiva's have a redline?
Mine doesn't have a tach.
One afternoon leaving work I got on the interstate, radio was cranked,
about 2 miles down the road I realized that it was still in 3rd and I was doing 65. Is that readline? :shock:

0 to 60 ? :shock: Ive had one for 15 years...... so I guess in 45 years. :lol:

Before I took the B3 out of the little blue to rebuild it (only firing on three cylinders due to a slightly blown up exhaust valve and therefore no compression in cyl #4) my 1/4 mile was waaay quicker than my 0-60... lol

0-60 ????? Pretty slow in a stock B3, maybe we should ask about
60-0 MPH ?..... J.K. guys. 0-60 is pretty slow unless you have a great engine.

NO , you are about 1,000 to 1,500 below redline, when you at 65 mph in 3 rd

I have a G-Tec ,I will play around and see if I can get a accurate time :lol: 0-60

[geezerstiva]

well, what brought this up was a 0-60 time i saw on a new honda fit sport (incidentally one of the ugliest hatchbacks i have ever seen): 11.9 seconds. and that's the sport model. well i thought i had seen a 0-60 time on a festiva that said between 11 and 12 seconds. i also thought if your supposed "sport" model won't beat a stock festiva... well that's pretty sad. :lol: anyway that's why i was wondering.

weight of car in kilogrammes
--------------------------- = 0-60 time
maximum bhp of car * 0.9

"OK, it's not a precise science, but it does work (most of the time),

"So for example, take the current Toyota MR2 which weighs in at 975Kg and has a maximum power of 138bhp. Using our formula we calculate the car's 0-60 time to be 7.9 seconds, and the quoted figure is 8.0".

now all i need is to find my calculator and im set... :lol:


i also saw another website that had listings from old car and driver magazines. though they listed the yr of the festiva as an 87 L model (a typo im assuming) the 0-60 time was 10.2 .
