Thread: Cobb AP accuracy?

  1. #1

    Default Cobb AP accuracy?

    just wondering how accurate the o-100 times are on the Cobb AP?
    i just tested mine said 6.002
    That would be pretty accurate i would think?

    Should be just as accurate as dashhawk etc I would think...
    Straight, flat road etc?

    depends how accurate your ODB2 readings are compared to a GPS reading... things like different/worn tires will affect this
    know the dyno readings (and 400m times) are pretty inaccurate

    Yeah I was thinking 6sec for a car that's done 44000km I mean I know when they first came out they were doing 6sec to 100kmh but I thought the older it gets the slower it will go.

    Its a standard test that measures the time the cars speedo goes from 0-100... so, its as accurate as your speedo is :P
    Rule of thumb test, obviously its not as elaborate as the dedicated stuff they use on topgear etc.

    Depends on the condition of the car, 44k should still feel like brand new or better. Once you change your tyres those numbers should go lower according to your mods

    Went through a speed test radar you see on the freeways last weekend, cruise set on 100 and it picked me up doing 91! That's now my defence for any speeding fine I may get anyway.

    GPS on the freeway the best speedo reading or roller dyno

    Mines 3ks out. The Gen2's are closer to real speed than the gen1's

    Dashhawk can do it , you just need to find out the ratio from the OEM tire increase or decrease the figure and there you have it.

    That means you WONT get picked up for speeding if you are doing the speed limit according to your speedo
