Mid 5's on your first attempt.
Maybe down to 5sec flat with some practice.

5 flat's the theme then

Similar power 3.0 M3 with quarter tonne more weight, and no 4x4 traction will do a 5.6

Seems to get a decent time you have to be brutal with 4x4's, some of the quoted figures out of the box I'd hate to try and achieve with my own 4x4 tbh.

i used to know a guy who was into his gti-r's and he said the engine was great but the brakes were shit
and then you put massive brakes on
and then you needed to have massive wheels
which gave more grip than the transmisison could coope with
so then you needed to have a better transmission
and then, after you'd spent loads of money, it was a quick motor

but 4.5 to 4.8 is normal for a pulser of that power, which is 12.7-12.8 on the 1/4

If I can do a 5.1 in a front wheel drive car then there's not many reasons that you can't do a sub 5 second to 60 is there

Sorry, i misread your power @ 23- bhp.


280 bhp will do 12.2-12.3 @ 108 mph, with a 1.7 60ft, and low 4's to 60.
