my stock k8 does 0 to 100mph in 20 seconds is this normal or is it a tad slow for this type of car? what times do you get?

Do a 0-60 thats the one we usually time. I think my old k8 was 0-60 in like 8 seconds. the ze is in 6 seconds. The k8 engine is not a good perf engine but it is very reliable imo.

yeah the 0 to 60 time is about 8.5 seconds and thats with the engine not running 100% slightly hesitant and lumpy below 4000rpm

I confirm that a KL-ZE is 6 sec 0-60mph.

For the K8, a 8-8.5 is normal.

8 seconds on a ze? thats SLOW .. im at 4000 feet. Even at higher elevation should be at around 7 secs? Maybe somethig ius wrong?

Check my mods tho.. still 8 secs on a ze doesnt sound to well..

The k8 can pull 7. something seconds if its healthy and modded? i guess. I could get 0-60 in 7 secs with the kfze. k8 was horrible for me.

aye thats what my car does it in about 8 seconds and that was with a shafted clutch not slipping just burnt out the release bearing was melted to the shaft. my car wont go by 110mph tho.

ZE 6 sec, mine does it in around 5sec, im sure UK climate being colder wont make that much difference. I have Toyo T1R tyres which stick and help accel times
