AUS vs US Spec Si4 - mnd - 01-03-2012 02:03am
Hey all, anybody know why the US claim a 0-100 of 7.1 and in Aus we claim 7.6 ?
Yes i know 60mph is not exactly 100kmh, it's 97kmh, but it doesn't equate to another 0.5 seconds. I believe power output and torque are quoted as the same figure. (once converted to KW from HP)
Any ideas?

or cause the US think they're better? tends to happen a lot (jokes.. please don't take offence and ban me)

An extra gear change could explain the 0.5sec time to go from 97Km/h to 100Km/h.

i thought it was 6.7, well i think for the 19s they are that but for the 20s which weigh 34lbs, just wheel,(ask my stealership to weigh) i wouldnt be suprised if they dipped in the low 7 seconds.

Maybe different engine tunes to cater for their local markets (quality of fuel, emissions requirements, consumption targets etc)?
Just a guess

0 - 100kmh = 0 - 62mph, stands to reason 0 - 60mph will be quicker

JLR Australia or whoever set the 0-100km/h times must have been conservative as Wheels magazine managed 7.0 seconds in Dynamic Si4 Coupe.
