heheheheheh Vehicle Cyl/cc BHP MPH 0-60 MPG My other one Peugeot 205 1.8 Diesel 4/1769 59 88 18.1 57.9

Mine,

Cyl/cc BHP MPH 0-60 MPG Nissan 200sx S14 2.0 Turbo (95-00) 4/1998 200 146 6.4 29.1

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

67BHP 0 to 60 13.0 seconds Top speed 103 mph

What a beast! On the plus side it does 54.6 MPG, woo hoo!

From memory mine would be: Volvo 360 GLT Citroen BX 16v

120BHP 160BHP 10.0 seconds 7.5 seconds 110 mph 135 mph

In news: snipped-for-privacy@mid.individual.net, Carl Gibbs wittered on forthwith;

Mine, also from memory would be

Merc 190E 2.0 Auto Mk2 Golf GTi 8v

122 BHP 112 BHP 9.8 secs 9 secs 124 mph 120 mph

Jeez, I need more cars.

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 mpg

Who 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

1.8T quattro Sport (163ps) 4d 1781 / 4 160 140 8.4 30 15

Pretty crap but it does me ok :)

Vehicle Saab 900 Turbo 16 S (79-93) Cyl / cc 4/1985 BHP 175 MPH 127

0-60 8.5 MPG 28.8

Seems 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 30.1

The 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

1.9tdi 130 bhp 0-60 10.5 top speed i dunno fast enough :) and around 45 mpg

and they are optimistic

Skoda Superb 1.9 TDI (130) 4/1896 130 127 10.4 48.7

Renault Espace 2.0 (91-97) 4/1995 105 107 13.8 27.9

Peugeot 205 1.6 GTi 4/1580 105 122 8.6 36.8

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 :)
