C4_0-60
Hi guys, haven't been here much lately. But decided to try some 0-60mph. runs. First my incar camera took a ****. But went to it anyway. It was fun, but I was very disappointed with my runs. I focussed to much on the iPhone & 'StopWatch' anyway, here is YouTube video .. I smoked the tires & used the computer and iPhone Stopwatch, the car shifts into 3d. at 62mph. will do better next time .. Best_Chris'

Pretty neat. FYI, you can get an app called "Dynolicious" for your iPhone. It uses the g-meter to measure 0-60, plus other intermediate times, and time-to-distance (which does not seem nearly as accurate as time-to-speed).
Some guys at work have the iPhone and Storm version of it. We've run an LT4 and LT5, and they were 5.5 and 5.3 seconds respectively. It's hard to launch perfectly, especially on a low-use road.
How'd you overlay the time on the video? And what did you use to film? The video and car look good.

Here is a 3.5 second 0-60 mph jaunt..... that particular set-up has actually been as fast as 3.2 seconds in a 0-60..... but at the stage of the modifications at that time and on that day, it was only a 3.5 seconds.....

Since this thread is on both C4 forums, I thought I'd add my bit to both fora as well.
For those who have timeslips from the racetrack, you can determine with pretty fair accuracy your 0-60 mph times. A few years back I posted a thread here with a link to an Excel spreadsheet that uses calculus and the quadratic formula to do the math. All you do is plug in the times for 60 feet, 330 feet, and 1/8 mile (660 feet) into the table on the top left. It then plots your velocity as a function of time and shows your 660mph time. Go ahead (assuming you have Excel) and try it out.
By the way, the data on the spreadsheet are real, from my 383 C4. Did zero to sixty in 3.1 sec!
