woods.... measuring hp in the Gtech snt accurate, I agree... but 0-60, quarter mile etc is very close to reality....

I have draged it in the strip, and the time was very similar.... once O find the paper I post the scan here... but there is no 0-60 time there....

but, if you say my car make 0-60 in 7 seconds, I am happy with it anyway... I dont drive numbers... or, better... I drive a letter and a numer.... an M5

A 5.4 second 0-100km and 13.4sec 1/4mile isn't unbelievable at all on a 6 speed 3.8.

That sounds about right for a 3.8 wearing good, modern rubber.

I too can believe the times. My start was not drag strip standard by any means but once the car got rolling the strength of acceleration in 2nd and 3 rd gears was incredible. The shift from 3rd to 4th is very close to end of the 1/4. pspassos' finishing speed is only a few mph higher than the most frequently quoted figures.

I'm no expert on fuels but seem to recall the Konigsegg developing close to 10% extra power on "green" fuel so quoted figures are believable.

Only my tuppence.

the only problem is that the engine is being rebuild and tuned up... so, next meassurement, next year, will not be original...
