What car?

[golfvr6]

just to point out the vw time for the mk2 8v is 10 secs
the new passat is 9.9  
you can't say one is quicker than the book time, as the other is also likely to be quicker.

but if you drill holes in the bonnet it will make it lighter. and improve the air flow. which will make it 132.73 bhp and 0-60 in 9.9793 seconds. sorted

Sorry Corin, that makes my figures out. I am assuming for these figures, 20 litres of petrol in the tank (Tesco's cleaner unleaded), a warm 22 degree C day and just you in the drivers seat. 0-60 time will now be 9.9632 seconds. Obviously, with junior in the back the time would be affected by 0.0102 secs.

dont really care mate, its more like a luxury cruise then a brute

better not wear any jewellry and leave your mobile at home, youll loose a good 0.03secs off the 0-60
