Awey then boys its time to lay the gaunlet down!!

Who's got the quickest 0 - 100 time on this forum??

Im a 0 - 60 speed freak and was wondering (interested) in what a modded tubbie could achieve.

Cheers

[DannyW]

the fastest i know of was Xxxx's beast which was measured at 3.6 or 3.8 seconds (cant remember exactly) but he's been banned so don't who is the fastest now.

[Pete_MR2]

Thats impressive

Was his motor modded to the high heavens?

Cheers

0-60 means buggerall. All it shows is how well a car can launch and this is just as dependant on the driver as it is the car.

1/4 mile or 0-100 times are where its at for me

[Pete_MR2]

Topic changed and ready to rock

0 - 100 times boys!!

Cheers

0-60 means buggerall.

It shows how quickly a car can get from 0 to 60

[Mark Edwards]

0-100 in 10secs for me.

[Gareth Hill]

Im a fan of the 0-100 aswell !
Anything thats around 10 or under 10 secs is supercar speed !
Unless youve got a noble m400 ! 8secs !!!!!

=D>

[MR2Mania]

Xxxx did a 7.8secs at the J-Tuner day. That's SERIOUSLY quick!

(EDIT: To put that into perspective, when it had about 310bhp my car did 0-100 in 11.8secs and 0-60 in 4.75secs on the Banzai MR2 day!)

(EDIT AGAIN: At the moment, from the datalogging, it looks like I'm doing 0-60 in just over 4, and 0-100 in about 9).

If I could hit 116 mph in 12.10 to 40 secs, I guess I can place 0-100 in under 10 seconds.

Thats CT-26 turbo powered too !!

Errr, and if I remember correctly, you were actually slowing down at the end with a ruptured coolant hose!! WOW!

[JJ]

Hey !

that wasn't the first time dino I ran down the track y'know !! ... I'd been doing it 3 month before that incident... which is why I was so annoyed... 3months of destructive testing and come the day... it fell apart !!

Did I say thanks !!

I got to the bottom of all that y'know .. it was a coolant shortage !!.. the bleed tap on the rad was weaping without me knowing.. hence wallop up the strip, then excess gassing up of no coolant around the block I guess ruptured the pipe !

Shame... never ever had coolant problems on the car !

Did i mention I was only running 1 bar too !!

It WAS a shame, mate, as I reckon you would have broken into the 11s on that day!

Did I say thanks !!

Yeah, you *did* mate, although it's not necessary. When I can, I'm there for my fellow IMOCers!

I'm not surprised that it was leaking, mate, as I don't think you'd looked at that bit before I bled the system on that day.

Did i mention I was only running 1 bar too !!

Wow!

[JJ]

Wow!

High compression engine matey ! I've had 4 engines in that car y'know !! I've only bu88ered one... curtisy of the stock ceramic turbo shattering causing multiple cracks on the crank and scored bores

Plans change .. I wanted an efficient setup that would run riot around a track... low boosting, high compression engine... with cost in mind ... Now I just want big with a little compromise... not long now before I play !!

I don't think you'd looked at that bit before I bled the system

Didn't know what the bleed tap was for !!

[the_did]

my 1/4 mile was 14.1 at 98mph - that was a standard Rev3

Ive seen loads of sh1tty novas that have respectable 0-60 times but just dont have the grunt to do a good 1/4 time

[Barney]

have you seen the times the cars got in this months FHM - The mini with the MR2 engine in !

[Mikejc]

My fastest recorded 0-60 to date was 4.2 at the J-Tuner thrash. Looking back at the video footage i'd have to say that this was with a bit of a naff launch too!

0-100 was 11 if memory serves. I was happy overall to be honest but I think the times would have been better if I was able to hold boost on the day!

Barney, was it a red Mini? Was it this one? If so, can you please tell us what it did?

I was told a little about this beast only I can't remember the exact figures and who it was that told me about the thing either! 1/4 mile in 11's rings a bell. I do remember them saying that it was not road legal though and that it was basically standard engine wise

Sorry to hijack this topic with things NA but does anyone know what the 0-100 time is for an NA (no laughing!) Cheers!
