providing nothing breaks and you drive it hell for leather i'd guess at;

0-60 - 3.9secs
0-100 - 9secs
qtr mile in low 11's @ 130mph

Sooo according to Bud....

100-130 in 2 secs???

I REALLY don't think thats true.

Slower for the 1/4 at lower terminal and slightly faster accelerating I would say.

impressive stuff

I think the below is what my old car did with 512hp
0-60 3.6 (did 3.38 but only once!)
0-100 8.2 (if memory serves me right)
11.8 @ 124mph
187.7mph

All with a 5 speed MT75 synchro box, a dog box would be faster.

How is it people like Smit can get 0-60 in 3.9 and 12.6 1/4mile at 110mph with a mere 340bhp.

surely a 400bhp escos is capable of 3.5 and a low 12 pass?

smit is awesome at launching mate! but dont think that things dont break either

i know dan(yap)in his saff at 350ish did a 12.47 down the quarter.he is also an immense launcher!

what you have to bear in mind though is the higher the bhp the more difficult to put it down and the higher the chance of busting bits due to the power going through.

as said,,, smit and lee are fucking MENTAL at launching,,, smit also likes going fast too as i remember him passing me on the way to ford fair YEARS ago before who i knew he was at,,,,, well i was doing just over a ton and he passed me as if it was a plane,,,,,, it just roared past at a fucking pace

hes got balls of steal im sure and can drive

Thats impressive Smit, especially with relatively little power, 1.7 60ft on your first ever go..

Unreal


So all these cars are capable of it, just need to be a good launcher
