9 seconds is not possible with the stock MS. You'd need approximately 235 - 250 hp to hit the 9's with that weight. The only trucks locally in the 9's are the big boys, the 290 hp Explorer, the 275 hp CX9, the Pajero V6, the Veracruz (3.0 CRDi, 235 hp) and the Pilot.
A Montero Sport weighs 1.9 tons. With a piddling 178 hp, that will not get to 100 km/h in just 9 seconds. No matter what you do, no matter how you shift. And you should always shift at as high an rpm as possible, even with a diesel. The only time you short shift is when you have no traction in first gear, as with the Focus TDCi manual, which is best launched in 2nd gear on stock tires.
The 450 NM of torque won't help you anywhere but at launch. After that, what matters is how much horsepower you make. And the Montero Sport doesn't make enough horsepower. It's entirely likely the Strada could do 10 seconds flat if it wasn't traction limited and the shifter was better.
If you wish, though, you can download a "performance" app for your smartphone that will time your Montero Sport's 0-100 km/h time. Then celebrate the fact that the phone claims your car can do 0-100 km/h in just 9 seconds, even if it really can't.

MS 4x2 AT - 10.8 seconds
MS 4x2 MT - 11.1 seconds
This is all from V-Box data, testing both cars on the same day. Along with the 4x4 (slightly slower) and the Strada. The Strada is actually slightly slower in 4x2 form, because it has no rear traction, but much faster in 4x4 form: (10.5 seconds)
The big problem with the Montero is the shifter. Very clunky, very heavy. Eliminate the shifting issue, and it's still around the same, 10.8. The driver cannot shift faster than 0.1 seconds, anyway. Probably with perfect weather, 10.5 is possible. But in better weather, the same will be possible for the AT.Last edited by niky; September 19th, 2012 at 12:37 PM.

Thanks for sharing the actual measured time.
Much better sana kung meron GPS device that measured the actual speed.
10% higher kasi ang reading ng speedometer ng sasakyan gaya ng lagi ko na rin binabanggit sa ibang thread dito sa Tsikot.
Baka meron pa kayo other chance instead of 0-100 try nyo rin paabutin ng 110kph ang speedometer ng MS.
Let me compare bossing
Actual (including time lag due to initial launch then subsequent upshift)
MS 4x2 AT (0-90kph) - 10.8 seconds
MS 4x2 MT (0-90kph) - 11.1 seconds
Computed (NOT including time lag due to initial launch then subsequent upshift) and considering flat road and calm wind (no head-wind or tail-wind, no crosswind lalo na Isuzu... heheh)
MS 4x2 AT (0-90kph) = 1.88+2.35+4.29 = 8.52 seconds
MS 4x2 MT (0-90kph) = 1.51+2.09+3.48 = 7.08 seconds
Thanks again because I think, I can now have a verified reference value of time lag due to initial launch then subsequent upshift as follows: (Actual minus Computed)
MS 4x2 AT = 10.8-8.52 = 2.28 seconds
MS 4x2 MT = 11.1-7.08 = 4.02 seconds
I think close naman ang estimation ko (values inside the parenthesis) in my previous post sa MT. Estimated time delay from initial launch and subsequent upshift is about 4seconds [(2)(1)(1)].
Pero sa AT na over-estimate ko * 3seconds[(1)(0.5)(0.5)] versus 2.28seconds (actual)... heheh
Ganun pa man, my latest computation suggest na ang MS GLS-V A/T ay HINDI maka 0-100km in 9seconds on flat road (kahit sabihin pa na 0-90kph lang ang actual). Impossible naman yata mag upshift from 1st-3rd in 0.08 seconds?
Pero who knows baka naman palusong ang daan tapos mga 12m/s na tail-wind or meron ginawang something special sa pag launch... I will try to compute for such scenario kapag sinipag ako... heheh

September 19th, 2012 10:29 PM #110Mga around 11 to 12 seconds bago maka 100 montero natin diba? GLS Non VGT
Sa acceleration from 0-60, ok siya, mabilis.
Pero above that, mahina na arangkada niya e. Stupid turbo haha.
Once na nag 3800 rpm na, humihina acceleration. Feel ko lang sirs ah haha.
As expected, in response to Tesla’s entry into the Philippines market, Ford will be bringing in the...
