Very good numbers sir! Is the app accurate based on the birthsheet?

It was close to this Camry 2.5 8AT(video below) I ran 5 times. and it was bang on. a little slower probably because the elevation was 1200m above sea level. The 8sp is nuts 0-60kph!

Edit:
0-60 5.17s
0-100 12.49s
The everest and montero has about the same time.
bro you can link youtube but thread is meant for actual results

Did something earlier after the toll booth arms raised to let me pass. It was around 6+ seconds from 0-60kmh on the stopwatch.
I will try the FXT tomorrow using the app as I have just installed it. Will do another test on the Fiesta next week.

I had a quick early morning spirited drive against an STi using my XT on Aguinaldo highway before.
I was the one in front, i can't gap him but he can't overtake me either. It was like a touge battle for maybe around 10 minutes. Sadly, i have to take my exit and slowed down for him to pass. He then flashed his headlights at me, which i did as well when he passed me acknowledging the fun and mutual respect we both had for each other.
He needs to extract every horsepower he can to pass me, and me on the other hand, need to use every single 230 horses i have to prevent him from passing me.
My point is, horsepower figures do not mean much in real world driving. Unless it's a straight open road in which the higher hp car can go flat out, we with the lesser hp cars can definitely give him a run for his money. hehe
True. That's because most manufacturers only advertise the peak hp/tq values. It would help if we can see the power curve so we'd know what the power looks like across the entire rpm range. Then factor in the weight + transmission to closely predict which car would have an edge. But then again, dyno sheets mean very little unless they're done in the same exact location/day as there are many variables that may affect the results.
Also some German brands such as bmw and audi often underrate their engines. Nissan, for instance, the first time I saw them underrating their engine is with the VR30DDTT - except maybe for the skylines but that has a different story back then. It's actually good to see they're expanding this TT v6 to the nissan line up starting with the upcoming Z. That'll go head-to-head with the current "zupra." Honda will soon release their TT v6 starting with their acura line. Technically, they have one but in NSX. I doubt they'll put that on their mass-produced models. They're running a little late in the TT game btw.
The STi is quick but not really that fast on straight. It's better suited on track though.
Is that the free app or yun may bayad?

Thats a paid app.
In my experience 6 secs to 100kmh feels brisk but not really fast (mini cooper JCW). Good enough to over take easily but not really anything home to write about.
5ish secs to 100kmh (tuned Audi Q5 ) feels sprightly and fun. I think this is the crossover point for when speed starts to mean anything.
High 4 ish secs to 100kmh (mustang, lexus LC500) is fast but not scary fast. Probably would wish for more.
Low 4ish to high 3ish secs to 100kmh (audi RS5) is fast but not roller coaster gravity fast. This is now my minimum acceleration requirement if ever i will get a fast car. But the truth is medyo bitin pa rin.
2.9 secs to 100kmh (Nissan GT R) is very fast and you have to damn well not look at the speedometer to keep your car on the road. There are faster cars but this is the limit of my capability to handle.
I never drove one but rode shotgun in a 560+hp awd lambo before. Now that was freakin scary . Acceleration in gear was truly hairy. No turbo lag. The GTR falls short of that experience because of the turbo lag.

With your scale above, the WRX is just at the low end together with some of common quick rides (Passat 2.0T, Accord 3.5L). Most 1.6L NA compacts or PPVs can't even do 10 seconds.
The new ubersedans (M5, E63S) are rated over 600hp and can hit 60mph in less than 3 seconds. These Germans just want their rides to go freakin' fast! I guess that would satisfy my need for quickness, luxury, and comfort.
