Manual Vitz 1.0 V GLi 1.3

[Storm]

@i_mean_vtec
i meant that the topic is about GLI and vitz,.. no point bringing (honda) VTEC into this since any local Vtec (city or civic) would obviously be faster than the 1.0L vitz.

was trying to crack a joke, not offend buddy.

[i_mean_vtec]

hm ok storm..i agre..felll sorry....thnx bro...

[i_mean_vtec]

weel storm bro n gli bro wana ask u sumthng..wats the maximum speed of 1st gear n gli.n 1.0 vitz?

[Storm]

not sure i think the vitz can hit 60km/h but i'll have to check first.

don't forget that the vitz is a 4 speed auto and therefore will have lnger gearing than the 5 speed GLi

[Neutrino]

Yes it does 60km/h but i cant say abt the Gli.

[GLI]

GLi first gear is roughly 45Kph tops.

[Neutrino]

thats odd!!! the City does 55-60 km/h in 1st just before it gets cut off!!! and that is around 6000rpm. This is by personal experience and the car was 100% stock, @Gli can u tell me till where u took the rpm with the Gli in 1st?

[GLI]

@Neutrino, 45Kph at 6,000Rpm! Can do 55Kph at 7,000RPM when it hits fuel cut!! I havent revved it in a while, mainly driving my Vario these days, but Im sure its 55Kph at 7K Rpm!

[Neutrino]

@Gli thanks a lot man, but im still in a bit of a shock the Gli is more powerful than the city. I would have thought it would do more than the city!!!!! especially at the same rpm levels, but i see that the Gli needs to be revved more to achieve the same amount of speed.

[razapower]

officialy in Manual it is mentioned that Vitz should not go above 45 KM/H in 1st and 85 KH/H in 2nd gear.

[GLI]

@Neutrino, np! Youre right, the GLi doesnt do well at low revs at all, unlike the City, even the Vario does better. The Rolla really screams at around 4K-6K! You really feel the engine performing then, below that its dissapointing. The IDSI gets it maximum torque at a mere 3000RPM while the Rolla gets it at 4400K, thus making the City faster!

[Storm]

@GLI
if
45km/h @ 6000rpm
then
52.5km/h @ 7000rpm

so yes you are right in quoting approx the same figure (55km/h) (Y)

[Storm]

@neutrino
it's not that the GLi needs to be revved harder to achieve the same speed, (though that is true) it's to do with the manual 5sp gearbox in the GLi which means it has shorter ratios than a 4 speed auto (but the 5 speed gives it better acceleration).

[GLI]

@Storm, thanks bruv!

[Neutrino]

@GLi very true buddy, very true ur absolutely right, but how abt after the gear shift? and 1 thing, dont u feel that the higher amount of torque in the Gli would make up for its higher revs?

[GLI]

@Neutrino, bruv youre totally right! A perfect shift at 6000RPM into second gear gives you one heck of a push for sure! I think the most powerful gear is the 2nd, glides towars the 100Kph mark quite beautifully!

[Neutrino]

@storm ur right but at this point i was referring to the City not the Vitz, but looking at the Vitz my question would be that through the shorter gear ratios the vitz should need more revs!!! cuz it has fewer gears!! and even if we leave that aside a 1.3 litre engine should deliver more power to the wheels, the 5th gear is basically overdrive, as the engine gear speed is lower than the output gear speed.

[GLI]

@Neutrino, dude you have more info about cars than 90% of ppl on this forum including me! Well done!

[Neutrino]

@Gli, im very flattered!!! thanku very much

[GLI]

@Neutrino, its the truth, be proud of it!
