106 GTi book time is like, 8.7 or 8.8 seconds.
I timed mine multiple times, both directions on the same stretch of tarmac. Used engine rpm from OBD-II and calculated wheel size and I used the good ol stopwatch.
Averaged 6.8 seconds?? O_o that was with 1/4 tank of fuel, 15 degrees outside and dry conditions.
I'm very thorough in testing things
I also made a formula for calculating HP at the fly based on 0-60 time if I know the weight of the car. which I worked out to 136hp, and the dyno showed 138
I'm not as thorough, but mine averaged about 7.4-7.5 without properly raping the clutch so yours sounds about right dynoing 10-15bhp more than mine. God I miss that car!
