Zero To 100!
This simple app makes it easy and safe to find out
how long it takes your car to do 0 to 100 kmph
Note: This is the kilometer per hour version
If you are looking for miles per hour look at "Zero To Sixty" app
Simple Instructions For Use:
-
Choose a good and safe place to use "Zero To 100"
- Most of us don't have access to a race track, but you can still pick a good spot
- Obviously, you want some place with not a lot of traffic
- Choose a place where the legal speed limit is 100kmph or above
- For best accuracy, your chosen location needs to be LEVEL - no hills
- A highway that has wide paved shoulders make a good place
- Pull safely over to the shoulder of the road before starting
-
Lay your mobile device down on a reasonably flat and level surface
- passenger seat, transmission hump, your lap as a last resort
- it should be flat so the device doesn't rock back and forth
- you want the device "pointing down the road", not vertical
- be sure it is someplace where it won't slide around when you hit the gas
- DO NOT hold the device and do not have a passenger hold it - lay it down
- Look around and wait for a long break in the traffic
- Hit the big button labeled "Get Zero To 100 Time"
- Sit there and watch the traffic while you wait for the "peal out" sound
- If the coast is clear, hit the gas!
- you can wait up to 15 seconds for traffic to clear
- this is NOT a reaction time test - timing will start when you hit the gas
- if there is traffic when the sound comes, just wait and try again
- don't hit the gas before the sound comes - you won't get anything useful
- DO NOT look at the device while waiting - WATCH THE TRAFFIC
- Once you have passed 100kmph, Zero To 100 will play a sound to tell you you're there
- After you pass 100 and hear the sound, safely pull back over to the shoulder
- don't be unsafe and look at the device while still driving - your time will be still there
- many speedometers "lag behind" the actual speed when accelerating
- that means you may hear the sound just before the speedo says you're at 100
- many cars have an inaccurate speedomoter - Zero To 100 is more accurate
- don't watch the device, just drive (fast!) until you're past 100
- If you want, you can enter a name to remember this time by, and save it for later
- That's all there is to it!
