BTW I was not using any specific timing gauge to measure the time, but I am sure I must have done 0-100 in around 10 seconds or slightly less.
Please confirm how can I measure the exact timings? |
If you didn't time your run, why are you sure you did the 0-100 in less than 10 seconds? Seat of the pants feel?
The best way to time your run would be to get hold of a GTech Pro, which accurately measures your 0-60 mph time, and then add about a second (just a guess) to get the 0-100 kph time.
If you want to use a stop watch, you need to take into account the speedo error. You can use a GPS to figure out the speedo reading at a true 100 kph. Then go to a level road, slot the car in first and hold it at launch rpm, and then start the timer when you dump the clutch. Stop the clock when you hit a true 100 kph on the speedo. |
