In which case I definitely want to have a Leaf/Omega head to head.  Some Leaf owners are reporting 0-60 times of 9.4 and less :D

I imagine it would be pretty swift off the mark.......say, zero to 30 mph. :y

I thiink even 0-40 it would eat the omega alive, but I was of the thinking that to 60 the miggy would have won...until the 9.5 seconds stated above!  Some Leaf owners have claimed 8.4 to 60 to it might be a lot closer between the two than I previously thought :y

Right, who knows a drag strip we can use ::)

That's what I thought, but on EV forums there are some who claim less than 9 seconds.  But the authenticity of that could be about as reliable and as impartial as a MET Office long range forecast ::)

Getting bored now,I personally wouldn't want to do any form of street racing as it's very very nawty and it will do no good to your beloved Omega.So don't be crying into your beer when it's gone bang racing a milk float.....and by the way.. try explaining that one away to your mates ::)

I presume autogrips are a 'dubious' make of tyre?  ::) ;D

and out of interest do you think the drivers who did the 0-60 test for the car at thefactory would have done it like that? I presume so as the people who do these tests are ''professionals''.

Lol,a milk float would drift on autogrips and yes they would have done the stall approach as do all the magazine testers. :y

Guffy, 9.5 is for my lowly 2.5. I'm sure the 3.2 manuals are a lot quicker (like around the 7 second mark...according to the book that is)

Is the leaf manual ?
