Yeah, yeah, you've all seen it before, put plug the numbers in again and
see what it spits out.

My Golf is so low powered and heavy that it falls off the bottom of the
chart, so I added some power and took some weight off. ( added 3bhp, took
off 40kg)

The numbers actually seem quite accurate. Golf Ragtop - as slow as a week
in the jail. Zzzzzzzzzz......

snip Bob's figures

In time honoured fashion, your turn.


Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 197
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1200
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 166.80
0 - 60 (Secs) : 6.55
0 - 100 (Secs) : 16.79
60 - 100 (Secs) : 10.25
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.95
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 94.35
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.75
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 96.00


About bang on tbh. Evo have 0-60 as 6.4, 0-100 in 16.1, (backed up by
experience of a few forum owners) but close enough. The gearing is a lot
shorter than most things through the range which might explain it I guess.



i was gonna say that's pretty light but then a clio in my mind should be
close to spot on 1000kg's
