Anyway, what does it matter what my 0-60 and 1/4 times are??? we weren't doing any standing drag races

How do you know the ECos you wasted was the same power as you?? might have been a small turbo running 270 brake???
The point I was trying to make was that you're saying he was slow (compared to you) but you're in a car that can obviously beat cars with 100bhp less If he seemed slow he was either 100% standard or running less than 1bar.. If he had the same power as you you'd know as you wouldn't be getting away, you'd probably be behind him.

Your 0-60 and 1/4 times would simply give me an idea of what power a Gtir would need to keep up. According to the site I've just checked, 375bhp and 1305kg should do 11.88 1/4m. A normal Gtir would need about 350bhp to match it and there aren't many genuine 350bhp+ Gtirs out there. (I'm hoping to do that next year with well under 300bhp and about 1050kg)

I don't know what the Cossie that tried it on with me was running. I hope for his sake it was 100% standard as it was slow. If it was 270 on the T25? , he should have faster spool up than my T28 and at least have kept up. (I'm only running 1bar and 275ish bhp.)
