GEO METRO 0-60 18 sec

[Haloforge189]

V-tec just kicked in yo!

[umconwa5]

Is this stock?

[darcam123]

@umconwa5 100%

[D1337S]

I took a shit that accelerated down the edge of the toilet faster than that

[wideopenthrottle666]

That car is so fast !

[thebonefish]

Your phone almost ran out of space!

[xXxJakeLambBoyXxX]

45 Horse Power 275 Hamster Power!

[racers115]

Practically any Suzuki car (not the korean rebadges) will get you the same reliability and easy to work on, that people who have owned Geo Metro's have become accustomed to. The Geo Metro was just a rebadged Suzuki Swift, although the Swift came with a 4 cylinder engine but still got mpg's of 40+. Although Suzuki no longer builds or imports 3 cylinder cars like the Metro for the U.S. market they do still sell them in other countries.

[LanceCampeau]

Did you get the LX? I'm selling second bike...

[Supergungun]

My 1964 Cadillac was faster.

[niftymatt]

0-60 km/h is still more than 7 seconds. Hilarious that would still be a pretty bad time even if the gauge was in MPH.

[412Brando]

@niftymatt 0-60 in seven seconds isn't really that bad

[Carguy751]

Finally!!!! Something that my dad's Toyota Corolla is faster than!!!!

[bigryan991]

HAULIN ASS!

[Carguy751]

@bigryan991 LOL!!!!! Oh lmao that was hilarious!!!!

[scarb0r0]

... nevermind a stopwatch. you need a calendar to time this

[Jon1121x]

I just got whiplash from watching this

[spk9grsch]

hey what do you have to do when you merge onto the highway?

[BAYAREA4150]

@spk9grsch you have to pray

[metalsystem761]

yaaaay for geos!!!!!!!!! :)

[tim3058]

Geo: such a pinnacle of automotive engineering

[darcam123]

@tim3058 Wish they could make these again, its getting harder and harder to find the 3 cyl.

[Motorfordtoyota]

@darcam123 They were considering the 1.0l 3 cylinder for the new volt for the generator. But went with a stripped version of the 1.4 that shall be in the Cruze!

[Prizm2356]

@darcam123 you used to could order them from japan for a reasonable price but i havent had to price one in several years so im not sure now

[1pinchipendejo]

One of the greatest car ever built. So underrated too! Those who have never owned one just don't understand...

[darcam123]

@1pinchipendejo could not agree more

[KronicKillaz]

@darcam123 This is gonna be my first car pretty soon. Are they really that good? Plus I am over 6 foot, am I gonna be able to fit in this thing? lol

[darcam123]

@KronicKillaz For sure you will fit in it, the seats go back pretty far, I'm about 6 feet and I fit comfortably. I would say the cap is 6'4 ...maybe a bit more. Super reliable, super cheap on gas. Just watch for rust

[midgetmayo]

@darcam123 I'm 6'5" and was REALLY comfortable in it so maybe even taller. Very impressed with how roomy it is for it's size.

[GJJFan]

@1pinchipendejo Seriously! I love my Chevy Metro! Had it for 10 years and plan to keep it going for another 10!!!! It's an awsomely, FUN, little car to drive! :-)

[eryonne2468]

that sounds like a V6 and it really suposed to go 90 or 85 this 1 is made from canada

[breaktobroken]

haha not to bad but i think my datsun is a bit faster

[metroracer1986]

i didn know they made video recorders that taped long enough to see it hit 60!!

[QWERTaYi]

Go faster neddy!! I CANT ITS A GEO!

[saracha]

lol damn.. im watchin that episode right now..haha

[PlayDohz06]

I thought it wasnt going to make it for a second.

[orangejulius072]

why would someone ever want to build a 3 cyl. car...

[Shadowschool]

Same reason someone would build a prius: Fuel economy.

[Ebbsilen]

@orangejulius072 I got 3 of them in the past and to be honest those engines are adorables. Very fuel efficient, reliables, easy and cheap to fix. I miss them...ahhhh 3cyl sound...miss it...:(

[eurohim]

@orangejulius072 58MPG+

[danchrisvwz]

piece of shit

[TheGreatBeloved]

atleast yours speedo goes to 140 mines is 85 haha

[darcam123]

makes it nice when its in km/h, my new Geo is in MPH and all my friends are shocked when they think it can only go 85 km/h lol

[TheGreatBeloved]

aha wow i didn't notice.. nice!

[midgetmayo]

@darcam123 Ha, that's hilarious

[jkuri89]

@TheGreatBeloved Dude his is in klph not mph you have it in MPH

[Philmen]

@TheGreatBeloved it's in km/h

[redoctober90]

@TheGreatBeloved because it's km/h silly....

[supersancho93003]

at least you've almost got a full tank of gas

[mitch9521]

so fast..........WTF?!?!?! a granny on a scooter is faster than a fucking Geo

[submitaweasel]

beast

[MrMoterKid]

sounds throaty...it must be a 3 cylinder :)

[cnocher02]

Hell yeah, got that deep american muscle tone XD

[MrMoterKid]

lol

[grandamg8gtp]

mmm no sirve ese tortugon de geo metro.........you know it SUCKS

[skylinekidd313]

I just bought a 1992 Geo Metro 2dr because my beretta blew up i can't wait to fix the Geo up. All it needs is a cv axle and a starter parts are cheap for these cars.

[darcam123]

Hope you go a 5 speed, this is key to the mileage, or "performance"...parts are very cheap, just don' t let rust get to the frame!

[skylinekidd313]

Ummm... I went to fix it and when i put a jack underneath the car the frame broke in two lol that is why the cv axle was broke lol now im junking it. Time to get a Crown Victoria haha.

[PutzkiSniper]

@skylinekidd313 One turd to another

[winstonfc]

I have a rocket ship...

It goes 0-60 in .5 seconds.

[ojd1990]

wow and it gets traction!!! lol

[KevinWirt]

if you wouldn't shift really early it would be faster.

[darcam123]

You are right, but I am forced by habit to do otherwise. Maybe I can control myself and make another video, now that i have a new cam to do it with.

[EnjukuRacing70]

And that probly took the whole autoban.....L0L

[Stevenhiggles]

drop a 423 in the car (rip the fire wall out for all I care) beat the car with a sledge hammer and take it to the track :)

Those rice burns will shit them selves. When you win.

[sloth96cky]

when i think of power i think of the geo metro

[darcam123]

lol

[jacoale]

@sloth96cky Yeah dude, who the hell needs a gaz guzzling v8 when you could have a 1.3 liter 3 cyclinder?

[broody1]

Wow thats slow and you shift way too early.

rev limiter is about 50kmh-86kmh-125kmh on 1,2,3.

look at my 0-100 test on my firefly, geos can take high revs with no problem.

[samjezard]

dude...it's a geo. calm down.

[thegarbageman21]

man u cut the video off just when the VTEC was kicking in /:

[darcam123]

lol there's no vtec on this lol

[thegarbageman21]

heh thats what you think !

[scottsheps]

oh buddy thats faster than a k20 civic!

[d4u2d0e]

wow a car ........WTF !!!

[makaveli087]

ehhhh I've lost the will to live after watching that.

[02stang951]

haha at first i thought it was in MPH and im like wow thats not to bad lol

[1969MustangMACH1]

lol

[Lwiss230]

haha id like to race one of these with my accent, both stock and see which is the fastest

[darcamalt]

How much does an accent weigh? I think they have a mighty 1.6L but the Geo is suprisingly fast, especially my new one....vroom vroom

[Lwiss230]

about 1400kg i have the 2008 hatchback version

[darcam123]

It would smoke this one...maybe a fair match for my new one.

[Lwiss230]

ok, well thats good to know

[97PImustangGT]

we talkin about the 1/8th mile or the 1/4 mile if i saw a geo metro run a 1/4 mile and was 1.5 sec slower than mine id freak out

[makaveli087]

Faster than Electricity! w000h0000!

[tchdwnuga]

My 1.0 Metro does 0-60 in 12 seconds, maybe 11when i fix my tach. Gotta love the Geo Metro. I am working on having a custom turbo set-up done for mine, i'm shooting for high 14s. Does anyone take their Metro to the dragstrip? I am wondering what a good running one will run stock, compared to mine when it was stock.

[darcam123]

Well mine is stock and and runs pretty good, but I didn't REALLY give 'er if you know what I mean. Lots of room left to play, But the frame has completely let go now, and my new Geo is a 1.3, not really fair comparison. I think the 1.0L could probably do it in 15sec if you really pushed. I don't know about the drag strip...

[1993hondaaccord]

dude dont even bother putting money into a metro, just buy a new car.

[darcam123]

lol, i don't put much in it, thats why i let it die and picked up a free on in windsor ontario

[1993hondaaccord]

free cant beat that price

[muskaa9]

minne did it in 13 secs

[darcam123]

This is my 3 cyl. I have a 1.3L 4 cyl standard that im pretty sure will beat 18 sec...maybe tie 13 if i'm lucky and have a hill lol.

[murderface2112]

thats fucking sick, i have a geo myself lol

[darcam123]

Thanks, Which version doyou have? (if metro how many cylinders and how much HP? and better yet what mpg are you getting?) I have to post another vid soon I can get much better, all stock just a well maintained 1994 geo metro 3 cyl. standard.

[Sheppards1984]

I see it's the 55 hp version.

You can shift to 2nd gear at 40 kmh, and to 3rd around 90.

[darcam123]

err 2nd at 40km?? When I am just normaly driving I'm in 3/4th by then. What kind of RPM would I be hitting?

[Sheppards1984]

hmm. I don't have an rpm gauge (yet:)), I only know the end of the gears...

Anyway in 3rd gear at 40 km/h I'd say around 1800-2000, but that's a guess, I could be far off.

[GeoMetroMan91]

could you do a 0-60 vid of you pushing it? you could probably do a 14 sec run

[e63niGGa]

lmao 14 seconds is slow!

[GeoMetroMan91]

who fucking cares. quit going around to geo metro videos i comment on if you think they are such pieces of shit.

[e63niGGa]

if u never started shit i wouldnt be here pissing u off

[GeoMetroMan91]

fuck off

[darcam123]

Yes this car is seriously underpowered, but i don't drive it for the HP, I don't need to make up for anything :D. But now that gas is 1.25 a Litre here getting 60mpg isn't bad...So go ahead and pass me in the end my wallet is bigger

[e63niGGa]

ur wallets not bigger stop trying to ba a wise ass

[darcam123]

bigger then it would be if I where to drive a gas guzzler Dumb Ass. You have no clue about the upcomming depression and world energy needs do you? when gas is 25$ a gallon I want to see your 0-60 test- ON A BICYCLE!

[e63niGGa]

not everyone is poor like you. family has great business and i dont wanna brag but yeah were rich. i wouldnt ride a bike my parents could afford 100 dollars per gallon if they needed.

[GeoMetroMan91]

LMFAO that is HILARIOUS. and COMPLETELY true!!! GEO METROS FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alexkvaskov]

Imagine if a Metro had a V6

[CamaroTBI]

when gas is $25 a gallon you couldnt afford it either (comfortably). I dont think anyone would enjoy having half their income pay for gas.

[bigorangetrucker]

give it 20 years and half our income WILL go towards gas

If car company's cant find a frikin way to run on anything other than DYNO fuels!!!

[CamaroTBI]

thats true but hopefully things will change and gas will go down. I have a V8 and get about 16 in the city so lets hope so.

[GeoMetroMan91]

you are 100% correct

[darcam123]

will do, little busy with work and my cam was burnt along with the rest of my house :S, but will have one in a week, I hac my 150lbs brother in the car with in this one so I am sure I can do much better.

[JohnFromSpace]

I recently hit a high of 45 mpg.

I still need to replace the fuel filter and o2sensor. The distributor,wires and plugs are all new.

How is your Metro maintained?

[darcam123]

Very well and personally, your sensor is your mpg killer, also make sure your air filter is nice and clean and you have the tires at 37-40psi. I change my oil with the cheapest synthetic I can find, I use oil treatment and I use the fuel injection cleaner once a season.

[JohnFromSpace]

The wires is what put me in the 35-40 MPG range over the 29 MPG I was getting when I first got the car. My Air filter is also new and I'm not running any tubing at all.

I hope changing the O2 Sensor will get me into the 50's =)

[darcam123]

I also try try good driving habits, so when I'm driving in fuel saving mode I can hit 65-70+mpg on a tank but mixing it up with doing stupid things like in my video and super driving I achieve 55-60mpg. Even when my brakes where sticking last spring I was getting 45-50mpg.

[JohnFromSpace]

Hey cool you have a Metro 0-60 run too.

We should see who can get into the 16's first =P

[darcam123]

LOL, maybe, It's actually going back on the road this friday, but I don't think I will drive it mean right away. I think you commented once saying you got 35-40mpg no matter how you drive it? I normally get solidly inbetween 50-60 mpg, and higher with more HWY driving. go to metrompg(dot)com to see how other metro drivers are able to get the higher mpgs

[darcam123]

Hey this geo died from rust to the frame but i jsut got a "new" 1996 one just wait to see my 0-60 on that one!

[landongendur]

I know that you don't have an RPM gauge but these engines redline at 6500 RPM, so you're actually shifting quite early. You can stay in 1st until 35-km/h and shift from 2nd to 3rd at 75-km/h.

[darcam123]

Thats probably true, but I normally drive this for effeciency, 55-60mpg is regular for me. To get that mileage I regularly shift early,accelerate real slow,and keep a slow top speed(90km is my usually my max). So this test really was hard for me to do, Thanks for the advice, I will try it again spring time.

[jmoyet]

cool. what year is that metro? and is it a 3cyl(55hp) or 4cyl(75hp)?

[darcam123]

Its a 55hp 3cyl, 1994 2 door hatch back...I didn't even fully push it in this video, maybe i could shave another 2 or 3 seconds. Doesn't matter in the long run since I drive it for MPG
