The R is amazing to drive, whether it is casually driving around town or out on a spirited drive  in the countryside or even blasting down the motorway.

To put the car into a category for the 0-60 time you are looking at the cars below to get a similar acceleration.......

Lamborghini Reventon - 3.4 seconds
Porsche 997 GT2 - 3.4 seconds
Ferrari 458 Italia - 3.4 seconds
Ferrari Enzo - 3.5 seconds
Nissan GTR35 - 3.5 seconds
Pagani Zonda F - 3.6 seconds

That is simply mind boggling. It's a wonder any fecker spends the sort of money on these supercars, when you can have something this understated and it be as quick or quicker  :grin:

Went to a local dyno day today. Mixed bag of cars, but who got the highest power of the day?

Spoke to Garry the dyno operator and he said the dyno reads very accurately and no more than 4bhp on a car like mine.

A chap had his stage 4 Focus RS on the dyno expecting 400bhp and made 367.7bhp and 373.7lbft!

Mine made more!

Dastek dyno

My result.....

Would be beautiful if you could get that little torque blip ironed out. :cool:

VERY respectable result though, bet the Ford owner was slightly mute on the result :laugh:

Update...
Been out late today to get a run or two to see how the car is running. Did an each way 0-60 run to get a more accurate average. Downhill the 0-60 was 3.2, uphill it was 3.7. Works out at an average of 3.45 seconds for the dash to 60. The car is running very strong and is currently in race mode on wmi.  8)


A bit bored this afternoon resulted in.........


Stealth WMI. LOL ;D



Hmm you've got me thinking now...
