    Hi Petrol Heads,

    Thanks for catching that. I timed the car while it was in motion (have no idea what the exact speed was) I will be testing 0-60 and 0-100kph this weekend on that neat straight near portofino. Will update you folks as soon as I get the results. I apologize for the confusion. Keep rolling.

    Stay Tuned!

    If that's your 6 second timing, you should not have even bothered posting the acceleration measurement because your measuring method was totally BOGUS!

    It should need not to be said but your blog post should be corrected.

    If you are trying to be a motoring journalist, you just FAILED.

    0-60 kph would be more believable, methinks

    Just record everything with your camera hehehehehe


    better test it on a flat surface. portofino alam ko medyo taas baba, and watchout for cyclist.


    I love swift!

    i just got confused... rolling start? ...on an acceleration test?

    cant really be 0-100kph, if you're already rolling...

    yup. kaya nga mali yun results na 6 sec for a 0-60 mph run. baka nasa 10-20 kmh na tumatakbo yun swift before the acceleration test. standing start yun 0-100 kmh. rolling start or street start 5-60 mph. Pero dapat mas matagal to 100 ang rolling start vs. standing start.

    Even with a rolling start, 10-100 should take 10 seconds or more. 60-100 usually takes 6-7 seconds on a 1.5 liter car.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
