zetec s, surely not





my mates got a zetec s and he reckons it does 0-60 in bout 8.5 and top speed of just over 130mph.

is he bullshi*ting? ive got a 1.6 clio and book figures say mine is a fair bit better than the zetec s, yet my 0-60 is bout 9 and it struggles to about 125mph.

8.5s to 60 is not likely book figures are circa 10s and 130mph would likley blow his engine if he somehow managed it as the book figures for that are circa 113mph.

They are OK cars but not that fast - 102bhp and 107lb of torque.
 


to give you an idea on the zetec-s

std runs 1/4 mile in 16.8secs

top speed i have seen is an indicated 130mph

in essence - not much quicker than my old 1.2 16v

well the book figure for the clio 1.2 16v is 106mph top speed, as you can see from my 0-100 video i reach 100 mph in 4th, the most i have achieved is 127mph, a far cry from the book top speed

bambam - i agree the book figure for mine is 8.6s 0-60 however, every review and my own timings have it around 7.5s or less to 60 and circa 18.5s to 100 but i feel a 1.6 clio should easily out accelerate a zetec s.

I know someone with one, he thinks hes the daddy with his. They are slow! But eventually they do get to silly speeds, hes done 140 in it apparently. Ive been there when hes done 130 with 4 people in it so I dont doubt it!



They are basically VTR kinda speeds!
