More interesting would be a 0-100-0 day, from which the 0-60 data could be extrapulated.

0-150-0 is plain dangerous !

0-100-0 is bad enough IMO

I remember the Dax Cosworth 4x4 and the S1 Audi doing that back in the day for Autocar magazine, I think they used a Rallycross car as well

I know but I need to get mine upto around 80ish before I get traction properly!

0-130 then it is.

I doubt it, the legal beavers dont like it. You can however hire Brunters yourself & then ask the mag to attend, its what i will be doing. The wavers we used to sign aint legally binding.

I did a 0-100-0 day with Redline, think Martin was there in the Metro, Sean in a standard E46 M3 and I'm sure Porkie came in his Boxster but didn't time it.

Happy days!

You can get a reasonable estimate from here if you have any old 1/4m slips.

http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php

Using the calculators on there, a 9.5 1/4 could be a 1.68s to 60mph.

Not quick by some of the times you guys are getting on here today, but in the early '80s my old rover V8 powered mk2 Capri managed standing to 60 in 6.2 best, averaging 6.5. A genuine 150mph car. Quick for its day. UHP 984R. I often wonder what happened to it?

The old boy if he can get the power down would like to see 2.4s to 60 and 5 or sub 5 to 100, should do 0-100-0 in 9.5-10 sec I imagine

Tim, if you dig the magazine out you will see the only thing my car held its own at was the 0-60, which was 5.3 without an LSD (even the datron guy said I wasn't going to beat that ) and braking. Later did a 4.7 with the LSD. I was a poor relation in terms of power, so my 0-100 was fairly slow
