Giving it just a gentle launch with two people onboard we hand-timed a 0 - 100 km/h sprint in 6.6-seconds. With a bit of practice, though, we reckon the XR could crack 6-seconds flat - seriously cookin'.

i dont know what to say bro, i think i misunderstood you

i said this bfore

Below is a part copy of one of my previous posts under another topic.It shows the current issue of Motor with the following figures for the FN2 :-

0-100 km/h 6.99 secs.
0-400m 14.91 secs.

The main criticism was of course ,the weight of the FN2 which they mentioned induced understeer.

FN2 1345 Kgs
GTi 1250 Kgs
CLIO 1221 Kgs
MINI CS 1130 Kgs

i prolly say 350z would started to move ahead quite a bit as soon as i shift 3rd to 4rd gear,

Good find!

The clip shows that it's not just Honda that gives out dodgy figures.
I think manufacturers must test their cars on some sort of dyno to get those 0-100km/h figures.

They don't put anywhere near as much thought and work into it as people would believe. Alot of it is just placement for marketing, making sure it sits in the right group in the market.
