0-100km/h times are meaningless. That depends more on the driver and the amount of traction you have.

Ergo: So its cheaper and easier to change the driver than to mod the car?Quote:

I just after a general feeling on if it was substantially quicker or not really when getting on it from a standstill. Im not after exact verification.:)
IMO i feel that being a passenger in the car you wont get a proper feel of any improvement. I believe that you have to be in the driver's seat. That's what i let aaron drive the car.
And yes suntzu there is a noticable difference in accelleration. I dont have any numbers or times to tell you, but it is noticeable. You feel the car pull through the rev range fairly quicker than stock. The upper rev range is where you'll find alot of the tourqe.
My tyres are pretty shonky atm, but i found it was hard to get good traction in 1st gear at 80% throttle.
I can’t wait to check this out on Saturday at the JTune Brisbane open day, I’m very excited about going for a drive. I hope everyone knows the time has changed from 12pm to 10:30am so don’t be late or you will miss out.
0-100km/h times are for selling cars. 0-400m times are what differentiates a fast from the rest.Quote:

I agree.That's why i asked Jin for a drive.:p
I dont think 0-100 comparison of Extreme vs Standard shows its true gains
Just from being in the passenger seat the real gains seemed to be when it got going.
Not that the guy launched the car or anything but it just felt considerably faster on the move then a stock euro.
I imagine it would just walk away from a standard car
When you are at mid RPM and floor the throttle on a stock Euro, it feels like the car is just accelerating smoothly. On the Extreme, flooring it means a little push in the back, as if the car has quite a bit more torque. Basically, the difference is like going from a B16A to a B18C.
And I noticed one thing, the damn throttle lag was minimised by quite a fair bit! Also, the throttle response on the Extreme felt more like a cable throttle rather than an electronic one.
Handing over my baby this afternoon to get the mods fitted, pick up Saturday
On a sadder note..............
