I don't believe that, not in the least, well, not when it comes to the
Rangie anyway.


Will it do 60 in 2nd? If not there is a 2nd gear change to take into
account.


Probably not. It's a 4 speed auto, it likes to be in 3rd before it gets
to 60..

Then I put the numbers in for the Sylva - these are much more accurate.
Very accurate actually. Woohoo !!


In time honoured fashion, your turn.


Just done my old Cosworth and the figures are pretty close to what it
actually did at Bruntingthorpe. Unfortunately I no longer have the
print-out from Bruntingthorpe as it went with the car, but quite
enjoyable reading.

Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.57
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 126.51
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.47

The Integrale is closer than I thought it'd be according to the following

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 332

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 261.29
0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.98

The link......

that's for my BMW 328 coupe, the 0-60mph is about 0.3 out from BMW's quoted
7.2secs but the and i'm sure you could do a quarter mile in low 15's
not bad for a barge i guess

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

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'm gonna have to go and wipe the bird crap off my sunroof at this rate.


I'm not :-( I was going to wash it because the front end is foul, COVERED
in flies still from the euro trip! But I've been a bit off colour, and now
it's getting a new front bumper on an insurance claim. They say it'll be
cleaned inside and out as well :-)

The last reasonably quick thing I owned was the TT Sierra 4x4 Estate.

That's not a good state of affairs.
