I do 0-160ish in under 33 seconds in my beantin with around 300@wheels and around 1000kg.

I would say a Cossie would need 400bhp 2wd........

sounds a long time when it only takes around 11 ish secs to get too 100mph...

i'd expect it to take no more than 30 personally in my car, but since i have never timed it i could be way out

Mine done it in just under 30secs (29.853sec) on greens and a T34.48 also some light head porting and using 22psi peak, about 340-350bhp.

Was timed by Fast Ford at Brunters.

first things first is making sure your car weill actually go that fast
