Heavy car off the start, but gain speed quickly once it's rolling, might look slow compared to other cars, I wouldsay in the 80+mph mark but not sure on ETA.

Also it will depend alot on the mileage and condition of your car as a lot have clocked up a fair few miles these days.

Hope youhave a fantastic time and manage to get plenty of pictures to show us. :y

From PVS over the last couple of years you will be looking at high 15s to low 16s at very best.

Assuming yours is a 3ltr it will be on a par with 2.5 V6 Vectas.

All i would say is prepare to be beaten alot by what you might consider to be 'inferior' vehicles

Mark, do you remember what we got out of Mick Dundees car when you had it, IIRC, LJ got the best time.

There was about 15 of us having a go, wasn't there?
