L99 0-60 video

[DanD]

Ok, well I have almost nowhere to do this, and can't lay into it or it just smokes em for hundreds of feet.. So this was a one shot deal on a back road, and had to ease it off the line, then you can here where I finally got into it pretty good when it breaks loose around the 2 second mark.. I didn't have it to the floor completely (I don't think haha) since I knew it would smoke em. On my camera (video) it does 30 frames/second and I counted it exactly frame by frame, when I feel I started to move and in the middle of the 59-61mph jump. It was about 4.8 seconds or so. I know this car would be sub 4 seconds EASY with traction.
and for those who don't know cam, headers converter...

Cool video, you got me by 3 Camaro's though going to have to pick up a few more ( ha ha no more garage space). How does the 02 run never had the chance to drive on of those?

[DanD]

my orange 02 has a 427 heres an OLD run yrs ago.. full weight a/c etc.

[Indpowr]

I would say right at 5.5secs

[Supermans]

At 6 seconds its at 59MPH...not so good a time if you are expecting low 5's..

[camaromaniac]

02 has got it going on, another great video

[DanD]

but it didn't start to move until after 1 second. that's exactly why I stated what I did above about going through the video frame by frame at 30 frames/second and it is 4.8 seconds or 144 frames from the first move to the middle of the 59-61mph jump.

[DanD]

if I don't move until AFTER 1 second, an entire second is gone.. so from 1 to 6 is 5 seconds or LESS...not to mention its still in the 6 second zone at... below (65mph!)... so only way to really count these times of anyone is the way I did it. Not one here for sure.

the engine is reving at the same time the video starts.. Either way it is about 5.7-5.9 0-60 time if you take into acount the moment the car goes into first gear.. In other words right when the video starts you can hear the pedal being pressed making the time to start counting right at the beginning. However I take.03 seconds off and get the 5.7 time to be more accurate..



Nowhere near 4.9-5.1 0-60 though which should be the average considering it had gotten 4.7 during GM's testing and that is what is advertised.

Thanks for posting the video though..

100% WRONG!!!!!!!

this is why people don't get it.. 0 to 60 is an actual movement.. I can rev the motor all day and won't move an inch... I DID A TIME FRAME BY FRAME.. not trying to be a jerk but I am not some idiot or a first time car owner..

[DanD]

also, didn't I say it wasn't hammered.. this was an eased into run, plus I know what what I am talking about. come to your own conclusions, if you don't get how I did the frame by frame on my camera then you won't get it at all..

[Supermans]

OK, so you are saying it was 4.8 seconds 0-60.. Then it is getting advertised runs.. I'm not here to disagree with you.
