Hi Rod

Quick question for you, being nosey really !!

I was recently reading the June '05 issue of Evo where they tested the Ultima GTR 640. This they say is the worlds quickest accelerating car, 0-60 in 2.7 but they also say it will do 0-100-0 in 9.8 seconds. This got me thinking as your car does 0-100 in 6 point something so could you car match or beat the 0-100-0 time set by the Ultima ? I reckon you could match it........

just interested in whether you think you could !!

Cheers !

Its on about production cars mate probably but I doubt Rods car could stop in that distance due to the weight of an old taxi.

I thought Rod's was partially stripped, huge brakes etc ? If not then yeah, stopping may prove the losing point.........

Mine did 0-100 8.1 with 500bhp so sub 9's are possible. Now its an insane 6.9.

Huge aps it may have but I cant see it getting from 100-0 in that time in a taxi.

However Martins car should easily beat this.
Cams reckoning on 4.5 to a hundred if it gets that his car will be truely out of this world.
And stoppings no problem either fully stripped, Brembo 8 pots front and rear.

No!! chance of that are nil i would think. Think the Utima is in the 5's to 100 so quicker than mine. Would beat jt down Brunters thats about all.
