Acceleration 0 to 60 in 30 Seconds

I use this test not only to check performance mods or to see if I have eng problems but also to check potential MH's for purchase. I was surprised at the number of DP's that I tested that were greater than 20 secs to go from 40-60 mph. This will translate to slower hill climbing than my current old gas MH. You don't see this kind or data when you go the Mfg web site when looking to purchase a MH. I think it would be good data to have if more folks could post the times and wt of their MH's

I can't keep the motorhome wheels on the front ground when I floor it! Wheelies! What do ya think?

You're all a lot quicker than the old VW Combi. I remember a magazine road test for it that said "0-60mph - no data - still accelerating when we went to press".

Will be on a return leg of this trip to San Diego and won't be towing the toad so I plan to do another 0 to 60 test without the toad Friday.

Should be interesting.

Thanks to all who replied.

Mci7, you do realize the Revcon is front wheel drive.

Oh yes, know the GM 425 drive setup & big block Revcon used, am trying to recall who had that first, am thinking Oldsmobile, but know Buick & Cadilac did also over a few years in the mid to late 60's.
Know there are many upgrades for the heavier applications.
Yup, em were the good ole days for young gear heads. :)

I did mine up to 59 MPH, 180 seconds.

Just rode in a 67 convert able Camaro with a new 427 and a blower talk about being pushed back in the seat.

We went with twin turbos on our ISL. It will chirp the tires, but I'm on my third driveshaft!:B

Darn that dream was neat, but then I woke up!

Mci7, you do realize the Revcon is front wheel drive.
