Guest 850T-5 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I think the specs are reasonable and most of them make sense.0-60 times and 1/4 mile times are "estimated". There are too many factors such as driver, outside temp, humidity, traction, wind, altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadian854 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 96 850R is heavier than a 95 T5-R.... Also all those times were probably on new enigines that were not broken in yet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towerymt Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 the point is, some of those times aren't accurate.So they wrote down the wrong time? How else did they report inaccurate times? You don't know what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towerymt Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 did you stage the rear wheels? that would explain your findings. my n/a 240 was faster than any of those rwd turbos. take that, magazine testers!! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightInAVolvo Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 i think all those numbers are high... like my c70=way better even stock it ran 14.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8G5L0T Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 the weather also has to be taken into account with these times. for some of us it could have been colder out which helps out with those quarter mile times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxx Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I think we should REDO all these and make our own times, for everyone to reference to...towerymt - I don't think I did, but dunno, i'm stupid enough. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM850R Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I dunno, maybe we should just stick to what we have listed in the racing forum. There are some stock times in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Account_Deleted_T5M Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 i've ran a 16.34 at the track, and that was before tuning. I know i can run in the 15's with a good hookup, my tires tend to spin and then i bog down. and then i hit the rev limiter.. yada yada....my 0-60 time is high 6's to low 7's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
