Well it certainly has all the ingredients...

Drama, The suspense is crippling.
A car chase  albeit only 9.5 seconds.
Some love interest. Webby stalking random folk, and Stemo/Opti reminiscing about boarding school bondage.

I think Woody Allen should direct it as can pad it out a bit with random dream sequences... like the time Webby swore blind that his car could do 0-60 in 9.4 seconds with a full tank of gas and a KFC bargain bucket... :D

Well what a thread ::)

This has intrigued me so out of interest we checked mine earlier - 0-63 4.5 secs  Not too bothered if its +/- 0.2 sec - still effing quick.

Oh thats not the Omega by the way ;)

Ah, Kevin...accelerometers. Now there is a blast from the past.  I believe that Noah used an AP22 to time the zero to sixty acceleration of the newly built ark. ::) ::) ;)

Hold the funk on.....

Kev, you have a AP22? Do you fancy renting it to me? If not I understand as I'm sure its an expensive item just looking online  :o

But would help me shut opti up get a final correct timing!  :)

ps,

when I blew my engine up  :-[ I had the old valves out, ignoring their bentness  :-[ there was a bit of crud where the stem meets the face of the valve.

though we think that modern engines don't get coked up (agreed) I spoke to a chap at cylinder head services (yes im bugging people face to face too  ::) ;D) and he reckons that a polish of the valves would prob get me my performance back (assuming im roughly half a second off). it is an expensive thing to do but does anyone agree that this would work? especially as the car is running sweet and no problems at all.

You're going to take your car to bits to try and get 0.5s?

I'm getting a bit worried about you, Webby  ;D

As Opti has forced me to redo my tests  ::) ;D how do I get my grubby bear paws on one of these performance testers? sadly I don't even have enough to buy one so I can then return it as going on holiday next week.

can I rent one? or is there a lovely member that will rent it to me?

Here you go Webby... an app!  :y

Because of the instant high torque available, Porche and other performance car manufacturers are going the hybrid route. If you want a bit more get up and go electro assist your front wheels. :y :y :y
