Do you like acceleration?
« on: 22 March 2017, 16:08:07 »
Let us start with a car that is considered properly quick. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport can manage 0-60 in 2.6 and 0-120 in 7.4.

How about 0-60 in 1.2  and 0-120 in just 2.8? The good news is it will only cost you a few quid. :y

Good Dr.....I am a car enthusiast, and have been for nearly 70 years. However, I have no idea why anyone should want to get from 0 to 60 in however many seconds. !!!!! What is this compulsion to go so fast you are liable to overtake your own arsehole :o :o

GPS speed readings are only accurate on the level; inclines give falsely low results!  :o
