7ish secs to 60, 15 ish secs 1/4 mile.
It really depends on the spec of the car, cheap thrown together one with crap brakes and suspension will obviously be shite.

Saw one beat a standard Cupra quite comprehensively. But that's not exactly a fair race mod'd for standard!

Cupras arent that fast in standard form tbh, i find them slow tbh. BUT they are very tunable and doesnt take alot to make them fast

think book figure is 144 but i dont think you could get a corsa or astra to do that, calibra probably would.
Either way though it will go fast enough to get you into a lot of trouble as i found out

I managed to get 163mph on the GPS in a corsa I put together myself. Considering I'd nevber built anything like it before it's fair to say I shat myself With enough road it could have gone faster.
Edit, that was a turbo tho
