3.5 V8 Viento

4.9 s 0-60mph on accurate timing gear

too much wheel spin to do better.

Road tyres

Yup same for me
V8 Viento (3.5 Rover V8, 4 Barrel Webber, and some mild headwork done by me)
0-60 4.9 secs (This is a common time for V8 Viento's)

14.89Secs Standing 1/4 mile at Santa Pod (Includes major wheelspin in first, and missing 3rd gear halfway up the track - It was my first ever attempt a 1/4 mile)
Vid of the Run:
Linky - Its 6Mb file- over my Broadband so will be slow-ish


Again too much wheelspin, and Kuhmo road tyres. 235 x 17 on the back wheels and should have done 265 at least. Its just being able to get the power down on to the tarmac.
Biggest problem is TOO MUCH torque

1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Thats a quick GT4 you got there mate

I had a black WRC ST205 GT4 with big HKS cams,Verniers pulleys, big valve head,HKS Ball bearing turbo,decat pipe and HKS ECU. and it wasnt that quick!
To much weight in them,they handle really well and good strong midrange but weigh about 1300kg.

I bet the engine internals aint stock

Just under 5 secs in the GTS. Mini is about 6.5

Edited to say 0-60 times are just pub boasting figures really...they dont tell you very much
