Which is faster 0-60mph, a Omega 3.0 or Mondeo ST220 in the real world?

[JamesV6CDX]

Probably the Mundano.

Tyre, fuel load, passengers, maintenance history, fuel type, organic bit behind wheel, road conditions, weather....

All have a factor, one day it could be the Ford one day it could be Omega...

does it really matter ....... 

[rajveer.sandhu]

Not really no...
Just that the Mondeo produces more power and is like £150kg lighter.
So I was wondering if it was always faster, or just in certain circumstances.

BHP is everything, torque also has its part to play ...........

.. and moved.

ST220 has less weight and more power, so it'll be quicker in theory. In practice, depends on auto / manual gearbox, etc.

It's also girl's front wheel drive, so there will be less opportunities where you can put that sort of power down from a standing start without ending up eating hedge, IMHO.

It's also, IMHO, nothing like as satisfying to drive but, if the pub figure means everything, it's faster.

If you want a FAST car, then buy a proper fast sports car rather than a Go-faster version of a saloon car.

Amen to that. Accelerating is fun but if you've got to lose all that speed before the next bend it's a pointless exercise.

Unless you're into drag racing

Not sure an ST220 would be my choice of steed, even then.

  A good point..

[Sir Tigger KC]

The Omega might not be quicker, but it would certainly be a more comfortable ride to 60mph 

[TheBoy]

I am in a position to definatively answer this one (although we never, ever stopped at 60mph)

If Dave got good traction - not easy when trying to lay just shy of 200bhp in a hurry - he would command the line for the roundabout (slightly above 60mph ).

So, a manual ST220 is quicker to 'a bit more than 60mph' from a standing start than a MV6 auto. But the MV6 auto often was ahead at that roundabout
