This is the copy from the test from Finnish car magazine last year...

At least this is :censor: .

Standard CTS regularly makes 0-400 in 15.2-15.3 easily, driven by a girl that's already learnyng how to drive mad. And this is at Cup of Poland series, so the measuring equip. is professional.

good work lespaul, Imek are you saying that is :censor: ' or not... I didn't really understand your sentance, sorry

[Imek]

I'm saying the finnish testers can't drive this car.

[Yarisboy]

I see :)

so what are your 0-60 times Imek?

[lucio_libre]

It is still quicker than 8.4secs, and the torque of the Honda makes it that little bit quicker. I wonder what kind of launch they do when these tests are performed? I mean do they take off normal, or brutal(6000rpm-dump the clutch yehaaaaa!!).

[Imek]

That's what you have to do to easily get to 7.2- 7.4s

I'm saying the finnish testers can't drive this car.

:D :D :D

great, so it seems that 7.2-7.4 is the 'actual' 0-60 figure then!

thanks guys :D

According to magazine test driver the take off was (Corolla TSport)...5000 rpm and cluth up...the front wheels were sliding and the car accelerated with slight sake...The front suspension works well during hard acceleration...The drivers were professionals...

The Honda was problem...the standard front suspension did not work under massive horsepower.., They were forced to use only 3000 rpm during take off...Otherwise the suspension pounded violently...

The Corolla acceleration time 0-100km/h (7,7s) was better than Toyota factory has informed ( According to Toyota the time is over 8 s)

The reason for Honda better acceleration was simple...more dense gearbox...

interesting figures !! :D

But what would the time be for i.e. 60-90 in 2ND GEAR?? or 60-100?? etc..etc.. faster than the Honda i guess???? :bookworm:

[Imek]

So, if the drivers were professional, how do you justify 0-400m time, which is at least 0.5s worse than times regularly achieved by stock CTS's at 0-400 Cup of Poland?

No comment...

My 2003 Corolla T-Sport acceleration in car class is OK for me...If I want more violent acceleration...I will drive my 170 hp Yamaha YZFR1...0 - 100 km/h...around 2,7 s... top speed around 300km/h

What do you mean?

All I'm saying is that this test isn't reliable.

[Yarisboy]

well at least we've now established a 0-60 of early 7's :D much better than 8.4

i don't really think the CTS is the sort of car you'll be drag racing in anyway, so even more useful would be the 30-70mph and 60-90mph times etc! :D

i would have thought these overtaking figures would be really good as the CTS gets its power in the high revs...
