MG Rover's Marketing BS!

so u reckon a ZT get accelerate to sixty and brake back to zero before a Golf GTI 2.0 has even got to sixty???

like was said earlier.. can a ZT brake from sixty to 0 in 3secs??

A Porsche would be hard pushed to do that

I don't believe I said that did I?

I said they were quick, which they are.

I said that Rover weren't slagging off other manufacturers cars, they were making comparisons.

However, 15 seconds search on the web reveals that the ZT 190 actually stops from 60 mph in 2.5 seconds.

Thats an independant site thats achieved that figure, not an MG Rover one, incase you were wondering.

Slowest braking car from 60 is the mk2 range rover which does it in 3.3 seconds. The fastest is a 996 Turbo at 2.5seconds. Everything is in between and fairly equal.

Rovers aren't great
The paintwork is seriously crap and doesn't last , the cars are prone to headgasket failures.

Do you still want to buy a rover?

Im gonna post summet now, that'll piss off all U mk3 16v owners.

ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS FIGURES: -

VW Golf GTI 16v 150Bhp - 0-60 = 8.7secs (VW Manual)

MG ZR 120 16v 115Bhp - 0-60 = 8.6secs (MG Manual)

...

Now how'd ya feel?

Renualt 5 Gt turbo 1.4 8v 120bhp - 0-60 7.3 seconds

[Cupra Turbo]

yes, but I've had socks that weighed more than a Renault 5.

The MG ZR is approx the same weight as a Golf mk3!!!

[Dizzie]

from whatcar.co.uk

MG ZR 120 - Kerb weight (kg) 1030

I thought the mk3's was around 1200?

and how to the hell did you walk with 740kg socks!  

[Cupra Turbo]

1030Kg??? LMAO

My brothers Rover 200 1.1 weighs 1000Kg.

its not NO electrics, NO Big alloys, NO fancy spoilers/bodykit, NO nothing... its PLAIN BASIC and has a lighter 1.1 engine.

So .. I think u can say that the ZR120 = 1100Kg and the mk3 = 1150Kg

and the mk3 16v has 35Bhp MORE. and MORE torque.. and slower?

[golfvr6]

That can't be correct as that would go against the law of physics. They can't be the same weight and different power but same 0-60 unless the rover has a very low top speed, ie. the 0-60 is good because of the gearing, but sh!t top speed.
