Fun web site but dont take it all as 100% truth. VTSs are quicker than 16.1 down the 1/4 mile and so are Williams.

 

[Rich-D]

A lot of those times are dubious to say the least...

 

[Sport182]

but they are written down, they must be true

LOL

Some are utter tosh and one example is the 306 Rallye (car Ive just sold) which according to that site is 16.3secs, yet my standard Rallye ran 15.1secs on my first event!

Then look at the Saxo VTS and Craggys times!



Pinch... of... salt...

 

[Dash]

So thats why I bought a V6. For the bodykit LOL

[paddymph]

[Sport182]

Minus back seats too, so with them in its probably bang on...

Thing is, some of the other times like my Rallye & a VTS seem way off, going off the times weve seen in real life.



p.s. Paddy - may be a Clio owner soon!

Yeah, that has to be a load of cr@p

 

[Paul Clio 16v]

Whats realistic 0-60 on a 16v. Some quote 7.7 and some 8.6 (big differance). 19 16vs (i assume to be a heavier car) are quoted 7.7 - 7.9.

Someone tell me what the hells going on.

 

[007]

I have the autocar review for the 16v and when they got it first it did 0-60 in 7.7 secs - when they reviewed it against the RS1800 it had more miles on it and did 0-60 in 7.4 secs

one of my friends neighbours has a marcos. I always wondered just how fast it was. Im sure the guy never uses it coz its always parked up outside and its covered in dirt! what a waste, wonder if hed let me borrow it
