Performance Differences

Postby MattL on Wed Sep 24, 2003 11:02 am

If this seems a bit of a thick question, soz. But does ne1 know why a 2litre 16v converted nova, producing 150bhp can do 0-60 in 6.5secs. When a frst with stage 1, 165bhp chip conversion can only do 0-60 in the low 7's?

Does the 165bhp conversion on the frst mainly affect mid range performance btween 2 - 4.5 thou rpm. And not really affect top end or low down 0-60 acceleration?

Thanks
MattL

The Nova may be putting out more torque, may have better and/or wider tyres, plus the other reasons above (eg driver input). 0-60 times are mysterious things!! :bonkers: And while we're on it, why does my car take 2 and a half hours to get to 60? :-?
