Niky's story reminds me of two rabid hamsters racing. LOL!

Or years ago at White Plains with people drag racing Kia Prides vs Daihatsu Charades.

Rabid Hamster Racing... hmmm... good name for a team.

What are we fielding for the PTCC... Chery QQs?

I think someone should start a " Road kill " thread ...

Totoo kaya ito? 0-100kph in 8sec?

The 0-100 kph 8 sec time is achievable but you have to prep the car. The easiest is to reduce the car's overall weight. Heck, I used to do this back when I was doing street drag races. What I did back then were the following: Unload all the stuff in the trunk (spare tire, tools, jack, dead bodies, etc), remove the rear & front passenger seats, over-inflate the rear tires by 5 to 10 PSI (to help reduce rolling resistance) and remove the air filter. It also helped if you have 1/4 or even less of fuel in the tank too (reduce weight as much as possible).

I was doing 0-100kph in 8 seconds in a 92 Nissan Sentra B13 1.6L with an internally stock GA16DE motor, mostly from lightening the car.

Based on experience, a 1.5G Vios (gen 1 and riced up, I suppose) can still keep up with stock D15B Honda EG sedans as long as it's Edsa and driving (or "street racing") anywhere higher than 5000 rpm is almost not possible.

But anywhere on Slex, expect the T to see the H tailight driving away and out of sight.

It was just an instance so I don't intend to speak in general about the Vios acceleration.

Heck I can't even drive (for obvious reasons) anywhere past 3000 rpm on my ex-gf's 1.3E or am I lazy enough to look at the center-mounted tachometer?

For one, that's probably a 1.5. For another, it's shot at an angle, so the timer ends at the wrong time. And lastly, stock speedometer, so likely very inaccurate... because there's no way a stock 2010 1.5, with that weight, could hit nearly 8 seconds flat. And from the video, it hits 60 km/h in 3.5 seconds... which is about as quick as a 300 hp STi or a 200+ hp diesel car...

Speedo video ain't proof. Video of V-Box testing is proof. That's all. But if you read the speedo properly (remember, camera at an angle... it seems like 9+ seconds is more likely. (That's the time when the angle of the needle matches the angle of the 100 km/h hash mark)... which, given a standard speedo error of 5-10 km/h... gives you a sub-10 second time... possible on a Vios 1.5 MT.

I've V-Boxed a stock 1.5 Vios (2009). 10+ seconds with a full tank and 17" wheels. I'd wager with stock 15s and a quarter tank, close to 9 and a half.
