Agree with you Jas16v. My 1.2 8v couldn't do 0-60 in 14.5 seconds even if you launched it with a jet pack downhill

You didnt have a g-max filter cold air feed and a 3 inch sportex backbox.

Maybe the air's thinner in Scotland and so there's less drag?

the air is less dense up north, so yeah, there would be less drag

however, less dense means less power (if thats possible?)

true Robin, less dense = less oxygen = less power from burning fuel

speedo's are rarely accurate, if it does explode a new 1.2 8v should cost 20p to replace
