???'s about performance #'s.

[H-Town Speed]

Anyone have an old Motortrend or Car and Driver that has tested our cars' performance. I'm curious as to what our top speed, braking, slalom and lateral acceleration #'s are. Anyone have this info???

[chrisjw85]

Yeah I got most of it our 0-60mph was 6.8, 1/4mile of 15.1 at 92.5mph, 115 ft 60-0 braking time, 600 ft slalom mph was 69.3, and 200ft skidpad was 0.87, and it doesn't say top speed but i got mine to 130 dont' know if anyone else can be of more help on that one.

Thanks chrisjw85 and VegasMSP. Damn, 115 foot braking and 69.3/70.3 mph slalom!!!! That's really good. Almost high performance exotic good. I knew the numbers would be good, but damn that's awesome. Now all I need to know is top speed. Anyone else???

i hit 130mph... but being as it was daytime and in front of an airport on a major road... i didn't really think it would be a good idea to push it further.

interesting. 150 hp at the wheels? seems a little high.. isn't the msp rated at 170 at the block?

Most FWD cars lose 15% due to drivetrain loss...with the flash, you're looking at about 175. 15% puts you right around 150whp.

i havent ever seen you around...i drive by there a couple times a day. im on
westiemer and kirkwood.
cool..well if you havent check out the texas forum...oh and do you have temp plates on your car? are you near dairy ashford?

[DiscreetSpeed]

bump for you sir

I wonder how/why SCC got 7.6 0 - 60? They're usually pretty good with their tests.

^
They also said that the braking was without ABS. Car and Driver also tested a MSP without ABS and got the same time I think. So I'd guess that the cars they tested weren't the final product since we have ABS.

Don't want to give away my exact location but yes close to Dairy Ashford/Westheimer. It's my fiance's daily driver so if you see a hispanic girl driving down kirkwood at warp speed that's her. I might have seen you a few months back on kirkwood. I was driving/she was my copilot and we passed a titanium msp between memorial and briarforest(??) I think, down residential. I just kept staring cause that was the first one I had seen since buying ours. I remember the driver just nodding... was that you? Ours has foglights now, so just look out for a blue MSP with fogs. We sometimes cruise Westheimer on the weekends.


bump for you sir

[DiscreetSpeed]

ahh yes i see her just about every morning on my way to work.
i think i caught up with you on westiemer one night. and told you the blue was off the HOOOK.
cool just wanted to make sure.

[H-Town Speed]

Nah wasn't me on Westheimer you spoke to. Hey atleast you've seen another blue MSP on the road, I've yet to see another one like mine.
