Well this took me by surprise!! 

 

As you know the My Skoda app has a 0-60 timer built into it. So today whilst coming along the A50 I had to pull over to send a email so I thought I would give it a try. First time just booted it in manual mode and recorded 7s. Second and third time I used the launch control. Wow!!!!! 6.52s!!!!! 

 

Not bad I don't think!!!! 

With 2 people in the car, half a tank of fuel and a pretty full boot!! It impressed me anyway

Not bad at all for a family barge you know the real test is 0-100 (off the public road) that indicates the real quick stuff... Btw I ride motorbikes so am completely spoilt lol

I did this the other week with an ex police man in the car....

 

3.7-4.7 0-60mph 

Bikes are a different story altogether. No car feels quick when have ridden bikes! 

 

At least it was a ex copper! 

A red car is naturally 1 second faster than any other colour  

What type of vRS do you have? 220, 230, 245? Manual/DSG? Has it been mapped?

 

How does the app determine speed? Internal gps or via obdc dongle or phone internal accelerometers? 

My speedo (and most other modern cars I've driven and confirmed accuracy on) is notoriously optimistic.

That's a bold claim for a FWD car... I am aware yours is heavily modded, but the laws of physics still apply

...I would say that 3.7 is only achievable on a AWD car.

Power determines top speed (Ants 390bhp should give 180mph) and torque determines acceleration. With 560NM moving 1,420kg of DSG Estate then high 3's are possible. My car only has 467NM but is 1,370kg and it does 30-70mph in 4.2 seconds but is a manual.

30-70 I have no problems with, since the car is already moving and there is no inertia to factor in.

...it is 0-60 in a FWD (meaning, from a standstill...) in 3,7s that I have some problem with accepting

The Cupra AWD does 0-60 in 4,9s in stock form and 3,7s with a Stage 1 tune.

...this is with AWD. But ok.

Hmmm. Interesting thread this one. 

 

Ill be a member of the 4x4 club from next week. 

 

Wonder what a Superb 280 would do 0-60 with a stage 1 remap?

Just checked and your car weighs 1,545kg and has 296bhp, so probably time for a remap upto about 370bhp.

It will DEFINITELY get remapped

...but since I have the 5y extended warranty, I don't want to mess with it for now. Waiting eagerly, though, because the platform has great potential.

Mine is a dsg hatch, tdi and the only mod is the Audi throttle mod.

My guess around 4 seconds flat.

Not very likely.

 

@superbtte's 560bhp monster did it in a Santa Pod verified 3.2secs IIRC.

 

350-370bhp on stage 1 is more likely to still be late 4 secs.

Standard cars have recorded between 4.9 to 5.2 seconds. Plenty of videos out there. His 0-60mph time is 2.9 seconds actually.

I'll have to take a picture,I've managed 9.7 it the lawnmower engined one,I recon that's even more impressive.

I think low-mid 4's is achievable.  Even with a conservative map.  I'd say DSG remapping would improve things further as it will alter launch control settings too.

Launch control on a AWD car is simply brutal...

Photographic evidence,

Just had a go and made an effort,

Me 1/2 tank no cargo flat a road ,

9.5celcius no wind ,

Standing start,zero wheelspin,kissed redline in 3 gears.

Little piddily lawnmower engine giving it's all

 

 

Photographic evidence

Toyota echo 2003 1.3

Approx 14.0 second 0 to 100kph

Downhill and following wind

...and I canstill overtake cars.

Did a launch control/standing start with the passenger with a stop watchon his phone and when the digital speed hit 60 he stopped it. The wheels was spinning like ****. I will take anybody out in the car if they like.

A 4wd 2.5 litre 400HP Audi RS4 is 4 seconds !  Laws of physics have gone awol here. FWD much under 5 seconds takes some doing. 0-60 is pretty irrelevant, standing quarters are what really tell the tail.

The original OP numbers are about right, slightly slower than claimed. 6.6 seconds 0-62 so 0-60 would be about 6.4 ish

That's the thing... Has to be GPS, cause with wheelspin, the speedo will show 60, although you are still not there
