It's certainly not that that quick to 60 as standard, I'd guess around
7.5 but with a performance exhaust and decat it probably is. It still makes a 205 1.9 gti feel slow though as I drove a mates at weekend and was surprised how it no longer felt quick. I remember his 1.6 feeling quick but he assures me this 1.9 is quicker.
Pah, neither of my cars are on there but my other half's is... Vauxhall Nova 1.5 TD

That's pitiful! Where's the Range Rover gone?
Another good 'un :-
Toyota Supra 3.0 Turbo (93-96)
326 BHP 0 to 60 - 4.9 Sec Top Speed 155 mph 25.5 mpgWho the f*ck are they kidding!! I doubt you'd get 25.5 mpg if it was on the back of a tow truck!
Only one of mine is on it and its down as 7.7
Thats a renault 19 16v btw
Cheek of it, it isn't even a long list... :)
It's even better when it's a 420 GSi Turbo, which looks even more inconspicuous, and is still well under the seven second mark. :-)
Heres Mine

0-60 8.5 MPG 28.8Seems about right. Maybe the top speed is a little on the low side. But I did get well over 30 MPG on runs.
Vehicle Toyota Celica 2.0 GT (90-94) Cyl / cc 4/1998 BHP 201 MPH 143
0-60 6.7 MPG 30.1The 0-60 might be a tad optimistic and probably factory figures, but the harder launch you could do with the extra grip made a big difference compared to the performance loss from the extra weight and drag of the
4WD. In the Saab you would need to ginger it until you got third, other wise you would just wheel spin and get suspension tramp (in the damp, it would do it in third at 60 in a straight line on decent tyres). In the GT4 with the factory boost control and 4wd, you could use what you had and not worry about it skitting about.crap list no audi A4 :(
but its
Audi A4

Interesting in what way ?
Those are actually the exact manufacturer figures if I recall correctly, and were perfectly achievable with completely hamfisted driving *when they were new* (i.e. not a 10 year old 80,000 mile banger that's been ragged to f*ck). Don't forget the Rover 200/400 weighed comparatively fk all compared with more modern machinery.
The TI only did 145mph incidentally with the same engine, as it had a shorter ratio box.
Is that the 4WD one ? Doesn't sound far fetched for a 60mph sprint if it is as long as there's enough power there to make use of the offline traction without bogging down.
Not got mine down on there either, but I'm going to take a rough guess it's somewhere in the high 5's with fuel economy somewhere in the low
10's :)
Indeed, in the Scoob I have *never* even heard more than a faint scrabble (and even that was pulling out of a junction heading uphill).
As far as wheelspin goes, I can't even remember what it's like.
bout right the MR2 turbo (early ones) did the 0-60 dash in 5.8 secs with the later ones at 5.4 secs still damn quick by todays standards. thats boxster s ground that :) miss mine :(
I couldn't really get out of the slightly slipping the clutch a tiny bit to get wet junction quickly (necessary in Salford).
One of the guys who I gave a lift to couldn't believe how quickly I got out even with the little bit of slip without spinning. He was mighty impressed. Easily impressed as it happens.
What Scoob is it these days? I think you're not an Impreza guy, more like one of those big power Legacys...?
Will i hold this for you? :)
We have a winner :)
