I can't help but think he's eliminated his target market.
Looks like a decent, unmodified example of a rare hot hatch, but that one sentence makes the owner seem like a bell-end.

What a load of b  ks, I have 150-160bhp and weigh 840kg yet can just about get it down to 6.2 seconds to 60. Any enthusiast would avoid that just from the advert, esp the imaginary 0-60 time in the title....

Hmm not quite 5, more like 8.5.... Even the 16V takes 7 or so, though I've seen videos of them comfortably out sprinting 172s. Shame about the ad, always fancied an Rsi. Despite the name.

my first car (that i paid for with my own money) was an RSI, all the way back in the 1996. Great little car. Replaced with a White 1.8 16v (when white wasnt cool). That soon had a williams lump dropped in. ah, the good old days.

Q: Hi mate was just curious about the 0 to 60 times.... Have you fitted a Saturn 5 rocket engine in the boot or is that with a nudge of the great white cliffs of Dover?? Many thanks, I look forward to your reply Regards, sam 01-Jun-12
A: Lol u got a seance of humour. Nah mate, this is the score. I looked at the spec on one website and it said that it does it in 9.8Sec. I thought that can't be right. My diesel fiesta can do better than that. So I tested it on the heads of the valleys road. Nice and flat. I don't like ragging cars and didn't want to blow it up after all my hard work. But I gave it a go. My first attempt was 7.5. And it didn't get a very good start. I did to others. My best was like 5.5. It was hard to do with my manual counting but I am pretty good and didn't get over excited. It has good traction. Only a little wheel spin. Got good tyres on it. It only weighs 980kg that website said. I've not weighed it myself. And I weigh 15St. All things considered with a standard 110bhp oldschool it did pretty f*cking well. I'm trying to find an excuse not to sell her cos I feel like I'm selling my soul. I'm your local and interested. Come and have a look mate. Two of us in the car will effect the time cos of extra weight but it will be semi close like. Piece!

Wow that must mean that my car with double the horses & no back seats must hit 0-60 in 2.5 secs!
