Doesnt state 60mph horizontally either.... bet if you pushed it off a cliff it could do 0-60 in 5 seconds.

If you only all knew what you're talking about.

0-60 is perfectly achievable in 5s if you lower the rear seats.












Well, it was in a 106, so surely, it applies here too doesn't it

That will do 0-60 is 5 secs, if the driver wears nike trainers, a hoodie, treky bottoms and drives with his head half out the window ace ventura stylee

I'll bet he went out with his mate in the wet and did a launch and changed gear and got the car to wheelspin inbetween 1st and 2nd and saw the speedo jump to 60mph for a split second and thought he done a 0-60 in 5 secs

Did it really only do 150?
LOL


Thats weird though TBH cause it does 130+ on the quarter, so should be good for 180+ at brunters really.


Seems to be VERY unreliable though from what ive seen!
