Top speed:
About 120mph or when your toupee blows off,
depending on the windscreen.

Hi,all seven type cars seem to be poor over 100mph,a bit like the proverbial brick.
Windscreens seem to lose you a bit of top end as you are increasing the frontal area.
It's all about 0 to 60 and handling.
It should wee all over most fast hatches,just hold on tight and dont eat any heavy lunches first.
Of course I dont mean on public roads though!

There is quite a difference in horsepower so I think that you will be looking at a fairly big difference,probably a second at least in 0 to 60
times,both are fairly quick still,because of the lack of weight.
Locodudes mate Tony Skelding has a 2litre pinto so he should be able to give a rough idea.(my guess would be about 6 seconds).
That is if Tony still speaks to chris after the naked wedding dance?

For your info it was Tony who got up and started stripping first. I was goaded into helping him out. Oh and I can't speak to him because he's in
Australia for a month.
BTW his car isn't slow I rekon 6 seconds is a fair estimate.
