0-60 time
hobbit:
In other words the only thing that reaches 60 on your machine is the minute hand on the clock :wink: :lol:

0-60 measured in days, turning circle the size of wales, suspension system developed for horse drawn vehicles in the medevil times... yeah, i love the performance of my truck :lol:

A couple of years ago we were helping at an event on the former RAF Bentwaters in Suffolk. During the lunch break we tried a drag race along one of the runways. My 110 sat next to a modded SII. The SII actually managed a chirp from the tyres as we set off!! And he even managed to keep up until we passed 40mph.... then I managed to leave him behind. I think we topped out at about 80mph, but only just before we ran out of runway :lol:

Ex work collegue of mine drive a genuine US Muscle car, 2003 Ponitac Firebird WS6 5.7l
Took it down the 1/4 mile at Sanata pod and I was convinced I was going to die, just a shade over 3.5 seconds.
The boy-racer in his fast and furious Skyline couldnt beleive that he lost to a yank tank :)

To give you an idea, a 16v Mk2 golf gti is around 8.8 seconds, had a 1.8 injection engine, I imagine a tad over 100bhp as my old 1.8 audi with the same (but carb) engine was 90bhp. To get a land rover hitting high 8's, you must have something very nice under that bonnet!!! :) /jealous!
My other car sits in the garage all the time, no idea on its 0-60, but would think its somewhere in the 7's. Bit poor for todays preformance, but it is 25 years old :) and 4wd...
