Why would a stopwatch be so inaccurate?

Plus who's saying your speedos accurate, mines miles out on tens.

Its not the stopwatch, its the response between starting from a stop and hitting the go on the stopwatch..

Theres also the factor of your speedo being out..

Im not denying my speedo may be out hence why i stated in the first place that it might not be all that accurate, but thats what i recorded, and broomer one would presume if your speedo is miles out on ten's your car was once on 12's or 13's and have changed them?Where as mine has been on 10's all its life so it has the right drive in the box for the clock i have and the wheels....but then again i dunno i may just be chatting rubbish trying to make myself look good??

Apparently mine is 17.5 secs. But mine is an a-plus engine and that makes it stronger and more reliable doesnt it?

i know it was once on 12's because i changed them. the best way would be one of those gps things that say your speed. they seem to be more accurate than the speedos.

Hey don't want to hijack this thread, but doesn anyone know how much off a difference there'd be in acceleration if i swapped my 3.44 diff to a (3.22? - lower revvs needed at 70?)
