That's pretty cool doing the 0-60 in the 6s region, my car just feel gutless in every gear apart from the first few k's of 1st.

Celica's are cool. Cool

Hi

Normal boring car

Alfa 155 2L 16V TS - 8.7 s - 130 mph - 150 bhp

My normal car

Alfa 33 P4 - 8.6 s - 124 mph - 137hp (road test figures)

Fun car

Maserati 222SE - - - 250hp (claimed)

Maserati is meant to get to 60 in ~5.5 seconds and have a top speed of ~140. Reality is that the speedo is miles out. Although being an auto it is a doddle to get best performance from it, while most people would struggle to get within 20% of the road test performance of their cars (and wouldn't like the burnt clutch smell).

All the best

Keith

Mitsubishi L200 Trojan 2.5TDI

0-60 about 15 seconds.
Top speed is 94mph although given a big enough hill it's good for 106.

That's pretty quick Keith, on paper the Alfa's seem quicker then the Golf GTI turbos which are 150bhp.

Love the l200s, seem more of a cruising type car. Smile

92 Swift 1.3 GTi 3d - - 100 bhp (more info)

Does 0-60 in 7.5 IIRC, and I'm not sure what the actual top speed is, but in 5th at 7500rpm (the limiter) the speedo is showing over 140. Thats on the longest stretch of tarmac evAr.

The P4 is fun to drive. Although I suspect if you use all the performance the clutch will not last long. Being 4wd the only thing that is going to break traction on a fast getaway is the clutch.

The 155 on paper is OK. Just not much fun. Engine is not really that pokey and it weighs too much. 0-60 on it is not bad (used the driftbox once or twice in it) but it is difficult to get a decent time without murdering the clutch and tyres.

The kit car I have was made by some people who also built a one off using Subaru Impreza running gear. That went like the clappers (think they got it to 60 in 4.3 seconds, not bad for a standard engine without even being chipped), but mainly because it weighed next to nothing.

All the best

Keith

'92 205 Rallye - 85bhp

0-60 in 9.5 andtop speed of 110~

My 0-60 is probably a fair bit slower as it has alot of stuff in it for rallying (Cage, spotlights, warning triangle, 2 spare wheels etc....)

Thats the stock type R.

Mine was making between 220 and 230 at the wheels. So 260+ at the fly. Mr. Green

No idea on the top speed mind.

Have my sisters old Seicento Sporting on the drive. Must finish putting the new clutch in it.

~110hp from a turbo one sounds quite fun, and a touch worrying. Managed an indicated 105mph from my sisters one.

All the best
