me and my bro done a 0-60 in my corsa about a fortnight ago. in mine it was 9.8 but the start was as good as you'll ever get it.
when i tried it was 11.7 lol.
in his modded 1.6 it was 8.5 but the start could be improved i reckon just over 8 seconds with a much better start.
what sort of times are you getting?

i predict a great thread.
However the claims are not huge exagerations of 1.2s keeping up with 1.8s and very close to factory estimates so maybe not

If you're going off your speedo you gotta bare in mind its around 10% out of the actual speed, so 60 would be around 54-55 mph

didnt go on to a 60mph road for 6weeks, 4 days, 22 hours, 13mins and 38 seconds
Never timed it myself and according to parkers iirc it should be around 9seconds
