R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 18y 4m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 13/04/08 10:44 AM Share Posted 13/04/08 10:44 AM (edited) They're all different mate. Depends if manual or auto, however most autos are getting mid to high 13sec 1/4 miles and low 5sec 0-100 times. I got my 6-speed manual to 100 in approx 5.5sec timed from a video, but I lose boost when I change gears.

Was it ever reported/posted/listed by FPV???(nothing I can see on their website...) and again as I asked - Stock times, not remapped, or tuned in any way... just bog standard... Thanks guys...

Mines stock with 16K Kms doing 0-100 5.1 flat with 95 octane. Plus I'm happier with the looks of mine too vs FG, and having the R-Spec set up. I chose not to wait when I saw the first pics of Rocky Racoon.If I want to do sub 5's I'll just do a tune and injectors, maybe intercooler and exhaust at the most. But this thing flies now, so no need to tune in MHO. Another 10,000ks, some premium fuel and some more loosening up I reckon It'll crack 5.0 easy.It is going to be interesting to see just what a stock FG will do 0-100 in.

As the get 12,20-30,000+kms on them they get quicker.I know when mine had just run in after 3000kms it would do 5.4, now after nearly 18,000kms it does 5.1, time after time.Hope this helps - call or e-mail FPV (see their website for e-mail portal) and ask them too, they may have some test times that they dont publish.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
