Whos got the quickest acceleration times!

Why would he use a renault engine?
I was taking the pi$$.
Fiat Coupe 20v turbo
mine did 13.1@108mph with less power but also less weight which is 0-100 in the low 12s.....proper drag strip makes a BIG difference.
Clio Dci100 Dynamique
Wasn't talkin bout the VX no, was referin to ure comments bout it bein significantly slower than 172 / 182, which i appreicaited you puttin cos i wasn't trying to compete at that level only say it was quick for a diesel
I'm quite pleased bout all the response this post has had
I'd like to hav clarified why the 182 takes only wot 13.6 - 90 but then takes all the way up to like 17 for 100? that extra 10mph?
I'm quite keen to test mine now, at a guess i'm sayin 20 secs but we'l see. Trouble is its hard to find a patch of road round here where u can literally stop and accelerate to 100 lol
also if you get time i'd be quite interested to know wot ure 50-70 in 5th is in the VXR
And finally why does nobody beleive my 17 seconds? lol i even filmed it!

I assume by your comment that you think your cup is far superior to my "heap",well how about we put that to the test ,Bookatrack donington saturday 13th october full track day,you can show me how your renault engine is better than my kv6.Im only running 210 bhp/210lbft so what with your light weight you will take me apart .....or will you ?!!.

What's funny?
Clio 172
Where did you dream up a 300kg difference, dont be daft probably more like 50kg. Plus a remapped DCi would get well and truely owned by a 1*2 theres no comparison and i would know as i have owned them both.
I'm sure Yoz will give you a race if you like
Quick car mate. I hate the f**king things with a passion but there's no denying that's a qucik car.
What have you done to it?
on my thread for the hoff(which has been moved to other marques so i cant post) there is vid of me doing 1.27 lap at donington whilst chasing down a vvti 190 black exige ,someone posted a link to lap times at donington on that thread and yoz is on it with a 240 bhp clio and guess what his time is .....yep 1.27 .Just shows lap times arent all about power as i have only 210 bhp in a bigger car.
im not bothered wether folk like or dislike the zs but it is not a heap,its very capable,even as totally standard.I know of a couple of zs in the 14's at santa pod that are or were totally standard.
3 or 4 have hit 14.2/3 with nothing but induction and exhaust mods.

the 182 takes 3.4 secs to do 90-100 becuase as speed rises the time it takes to accelerate increases. Just for your info it then takes another 5 secs to get to 110 (so 0-110 in 22)
The VX220 Turbo does 50-70 in 5th in 5.5 secs as tested by autocar.
Nobody believes your time becuase filming it on your mobile phone is inaccurate and so is the speedometer. Again referring back to autocar on the 182 test 90mph actual is 96mph on the speedo

I would love to rip you apart in my Cup but I ain't travelling the length of the country to do it. Your assumption is incorrect, in thinking my Cup is far superior. I just think the whole MGZ range looks rank, hence the "heap" comment. Feel free to embarass yourself against all the other cars there!
Cool.... It's personal opinion that I don't like it. I'm sure you don't like our little French s**t boxes - It would be boring if we all like the same things!
There are several Cups that have done low 14's with just breathing mods and one did a 13.9.... I have to admit that I never realised they were that quick... certainly standard the performance is unremarkable on paper.
What have you done to get 210bhp? Are they 175 standard?
no ,i actually have respect for the clio ,its very capable.
Most of the performance in my car comes from weight saving.
175 standard power ,mine has exhaust and induction with some fast road cams dropped in too.
Its still only relatively small power 210 and 210 but the power to weight is quite good.

A man after my own heart.
How much weight have you lost? What did you take out?
Where did the extra 30 bhp come from (they're 180 standard aren't they?)?

Plenty of torque though!!!... I forot they're a 2.5 V6....... and the K series are pretty light engines so I hear. Good stuff.:race:
ive taken out absolutely everything that isnt essential ,its just a track/fun car so it doesnt need seats or anything,lol.
It has just one seat,carbon fibre with racing harness ,thats the only thing in the car apart from the dash and controls.
I had it weighed on the weighbridge some time back and it was 1050 kilos ,but weighbridges only weigh in 20 kilo increments and they always round upwards so it could realistically have been 1040 or even less .Since then i have removed and carefully weighed some more stuff and now my best guess is 1010 -1015 kilos .theres more to go at but it starts costing when you look at lighter wheels and carbon body panels etc.
So its currently around 210 bhp / ton.
What's the specs and 0-60, 0-100 times?
R35 GTR
I dunno.lol.
It's quick enough for me.
R35 GTR
Quicker than me?
I'll boil my head if so :'(
probably not, but that will change if i keep the car and my license long enough.
260bhp last rolling road. car is full of crap all the time, i kept up with an rs4 recently, dont know if guy was trying...
from my first shite attempt at 0-60 and now i know how to gear change and use the power. 0-60 in 5.5 seconds would be no problem.

I'd say definitely on the low side.
It's a very accomplished car but it certainly isn't a 4.4 sec 0-62 car or 10 sec 100mph car.
I remember when EVO tested it and it actually wasn't quicker than the standard M3. Could of been a slightly faulty one tho.
Yeah looks a little low, is certainly not that much slower to 100 though.
Not actually found a standard (none cab) M3 that will play yet, but from what ive heard its a completely different ball game.
I'd say 4.7secs to 62 is more realistic IMO.
