I surrender. you guys are morons relentless. 

anyway I got some good news. and it involves the ''stall approach'' 

So it is not that you have chucked you laptop off the top of a block of flats and it hit 60mph in less than 9 secs

Good job Opti's missus uses a laptop. Do some damage with a pc projectile.

No. I like photos to be like they were intended. I'd never, well, hardly ever, do something like stick a pair of tits on David Cameron.

Well, I went out to the salt flats of Bonneville today..... no wait, it was the a45 between Northampton and Wellingborough 

and after attempting the stall approach and failing miserably (for some reason I forgot to floor the throttle after letting the brake off...think I was more concerned about slamming in to the traffic flying past me  ) I got myself together and timed it bang on....



got 9.39 seconds. brake on, 2500rpm, lift off brake and floor it. timed from the moment I lift off the brake all the way to 63 on the clock. 

and it gets better....

a.) I didn't brake my gearbox
b.) I could prob shave a bit more off if I lost weight (neigh on impossible)
c.) I get the impression that if I was a pro driver I could prob shave even more off if I could control the small amount of wheel spin / manipulated the throttle properly
d.) the road I was on has the most imperceptible incline. but an incline is an incline. perhaps a tenth to besaved there.

glad I gave it a go and got the result. but I shan't be doing that again

Well done. Now stop being a knob or you'll break you car.

[Webby the Bear]

I got a big ball of blu tack and jammed my phone sideways on that plastic shroud between the wheel and the cluster
