0-60 for cammed VTS

31st October 2009, 22:21

What kind of 0-60 time would a cammed VTS produce.

And what 0-60 time would a TB'd VTS produce?

And........same for a turbo'd VTS?

Its a case of how long is a piece of string

too many factors to take into account and impossible to say

roughly for a cammed VTS. with a standard VTS airbox. like 6 seconds?

I don't think hes looking for a definite answer just wanting to see what VTS owners with cams are doing 0-60 in.

31st October 2009, 22:31

Something like that.

As for turbo'd... it'd depend on so many things it's unbelieveable, it could be anything from 200bhp to 450bhp...

its still hard to say though.

My mates vts with just breathing mods did it in 6.2 seconds which alot of cammed ones get.

31st October 2009, 22:33

be moe specific, i.e what cams mild or wild, how much boost as said 200-450bhp..

yeahh i assumed turbo would be too hard to estimate.

so you reckon cams about 6ish

what would increase 0-60 more.....Throttle bodies or cams??

i dont know what type of cams. dont know much, just wondering roughly what would be the 0-60 with kams, a standalone ecu and remap and standard VTS airbox.

No probs but even so it is absolutely 100% impossible to predict

If you have a turbo car that simply cannot get the power down then 0-60 time is quite possible to be worse than a cammed car

Theres a million and one things to take into account-

tyres
gearbox
weight of the car
type of cam used
fuelling
the driver
etc
etc

Probably anything between 5 1/2 and 7 secs as a very very vague estimate. that range would cover all 3 just about

aah thats cool

so less than 7 seconds.

Depends on the driver as well imo.

Not everyone knows how to launch a car.

i like to think i do

haha

power to weight and good sticky tyres are the key to a good 0-60 time i ran 0-60 in 5.9 sec in my vts on standard cams with a manifold/magnex/induction kit .but the car was full striped out with just a fibreglass seat and toyo r888 tyres ,i was also using a standard vts gearbox as u need to be able to do 60 in second gear so a rallye box is no good.heres my printout u can see the few tenths of a sec lost changing gear first to second

If you were going for bodies, then you'd be using cams as well mate.

Personally, for cams, i'd take Willsy's guess of 7 down to 5.5, and say 6.5 (maybe even 6.2/3) to 5.5

bloody hell thats impressive mate! so with cams you would be around 5 seconds!! im impressed

was it decatted?

full decat magnex single box system ,to be honest i did cam it a few months latter with newmans ph3 but never did any 0-60 times but i think the cams would only knock another couple of tenths off my 5.9 sec time ,there are alot of other factors ,size and weight of wheels i was using 14 inch vtr wheels also i was using standard vts brakes ,if u go to bigger brakes like i did latter on as i was doing a few track days went 283mm disc and 15 inch wheels all these things slow the car down 0-60 as its unsprung weight ,so not just all about power lots of other factors

yeah suppose, and once you get cams you need uprated brakes really and like you said that means bigger wheels. so all this just counter-acts for the quicker acceleration from the cams. so standard vts can easily be quicker as its lighter.....if you get me

yes mate if i was going to ever get a vts again i would totally strip it out plastic windows fibreglass bonnet and tailgate 14inch wheels standard brakes and the normal upgrade breathing mods .
i went the other way with my vts an added a 10 point cage bigger brakes ect but then tryed to same sum weight by getting a carbon bonnet and plastic windows cost me alot of money in the long run and the car was not that much faster for all my money ,just safer ha ha

my vts ,now gone as i bought a 300 bhp scooby

yeah seems pointless. your adding weight which costs money, then spending more money to improve performance to compensate for that weight. better off doing neither. your almost going 1 step back then 1 step forward. better to stay still without taking any footsteps if you get me.

nice car btw (you asw) haha
