I've driven various ZZ-powered Toyotas. I've tested various methods of launching. And there's no way of getting below 10 seconds on a stock 1.3.

A stock 1.3 is within the 12-13 second range if you drive it right. The slow 20-80 time is because he wasn't "launching", meaning he had to slog through the entire first gear. To get anywhere under 12 seconds, you have to launch at a catastrophic 5000+ rpms on the tachometer and slip the clutch brutally to keep the engine spinning through first gear and up into the powerband right away.

Maybe someone flat-shifting through the transmission will get near 11... on a cool day with a fresh engine and a stripped interior. Someone who doesn't care about grinding the transmission to dust. But under 10 seconds? Whoever claims that can set an appointment with us at Speedlab for V-Box testing. Hell... let's put money on the table on the results... shall we?

Hey! Do I hear a bet for a stock Vios 1.3E (factory equipped as-is) to do sub 10 seconds 0-100kph?

My money is on Niky. (niky! you're treating us for pizza)

When do we test? (not that we haven't done enough in the past)....

my vios 1.3E can do also less than 10 seconds ;)

From your link...

The E variant comes with a 1300 cc VVT-i engine, which provides just 85 horses under the hood. This is hardly racetrack material, but if you consider the power-to-weight ratio, you would be amazed at what the car can do. The 1.3 variant Vios has been known to reach 190 Kph at clear NLEX, SCTEX and SLEX stretches. I haven’t personally tried this, but I can say I can personally attest to the less-than-10 seconds zero to 100 acceleration.

There was no instrumented test done by the article's author to support his claim of sub-10 secs on the 0-100kph.

A standard Vios 1.3E can't launch properly to get sub-10 figures.

Let's do some simple math:

Mazda3 2.0L 147 hp * 6500RPM 1365kg curb weight = 0.048848 power to weight ratio
Vios 1.3L 85hp * 6000RPM 1075kg curb weight = 0.035865 power to weight ratio

Sino ba bumobola sayo na masmaganda power to weight ratio ng Vios? You're also looking at the 2004 Mz3 that won TONS of awards for its chassis balance.. hell, sa sobrang ganda sa 2011 US Mz3 rides on the same chassis -- "Why fix if it isn't broke". Normal suspension is stiff versus the more accomodating Vios.. and it has a bigger brother called the MazdaSpeed3 while the Vios only has the TRD version. Am I missing something?

Di kaya sya yung nasa isang youtube video na nag 200 na vios, pero downhill naman kaya nag 200?

"Bilis ng Vios ko!!":bwahaha:

:peace:
