Pitman 188 Report post Posted November 28, 2013 Does the Torque Android App have a 0-60 time function? I have bought myself the OBD bluetooth sender, and have a Samsung phone with Torque installed. Just need to figure out how to use it now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted November 28, 2013 Auto's can't have Launch Control because of the torque converter. Torque does have 0-60 times but not sure how accurate it is. The way I've worked mine out in the past is using a video camera at the speedo and then using the timeline to look at time taken. Video apps usually got down to milliseconds. Looking forward to seeing the difference in Turbo cars at the Christmas meet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark-in-Stoke 488 Report post Posted November 28, 2013 In the mag the auto streetcar has a 6.4 0-60 time but goes on to say the manual should knock a second off that, so 5.4 if correct..nice......Jane I know what I want for Christmas now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
