CC's quicker acceleration times than manuals???

[karatemaserati]

as above really is there any noticeable difference in 0-60 times quater miles?

 

[hodroyd]

The CC Box is very fast in "Sport", it is quicker flicking a paddle than it is to clutch and change gear, no matter how good you are at changing manually. There are figures around for the gearchange and I think it's less than a second from memory. So if you think you can change a manual box faster than that, you could be quicker..!!

 

[Mr.Cambio]

Not sure if manual or cc are faster as absolute specs, but even if they're not, you cannot measure in real life milliseconds.

I believe that cc is faster, but who cares? 4.9 or 5.0 secs?

 

[hodroyd]

Or even 4.6 secs Nikos..??

 

[Mr.Cambio]

Maybe you're right...I have packed some 4200 books i have, while searching for moving out, so i cannot check at the moment.

4.6??Our babies are really fast, or?

 

[cobratwin]

Nikos my duoselect 4.2 QP does 0-60 in 5.2 I think
Drop the the weight of a 4200 and yeah 4.6 sounds about right

stress and work made me forget all these great things the 4200 offers..I'm going back to my garage

 

[hodroyd]

As far as I remember and I need to check, the early 4200 offered 4.9 and the later model with increased BHP offered 4.6, but I might be just optomistic so I will try and check the figures. Down hill might be faster...!!!

 

[hodroyd]

It looks like it's 4.8 sec, so I was a bit optomistic, that's unless you have very little fuel, no passengers, no luggage and you are going down hill, then it's faster..!!

 

[Mr.Cambio]

i think it was 4.9 for all 4200 and 4.8 for the GS. But i need to check.

Professor P knows it for sure.

 

[hodroyd]

I was comparing the earlier and later 4200's, that's where I got my figures from.

 

[bigbob]

CC will always be quicker if that's what you are after.

 

[alfatwo]

That sort of thing is a sure way to very expensive new clutchs and rear tyres

 

[hodroyd]

That's what they are built for....!!

 

[Andyk]

Yep, CC quicker.....Most of gthese type of gear box are...

 

[Mr.Cambio]

CC will always be quicker if that's what you are after.

CC will always be more pleasure to drive as well

Ah we have now gone from the absolute to the subjective!

 

[Mr.Cambio]

.....

 

[VEDE]

Whats the difference between driving and steering?...... the clutch pedal and gear shifter!!

.....sorry boys i had to take the bait.....

 

[Mr.Cambio]

The paddles stay at the same location while steering. Things improved when the GS came out, that had bigger paddles.

No clutch pedal on the cambiocorsa, it's been controlled via an ecu.

Lot';s of people here coming from Australia here, sure they can give you a ride.
