0-150 mph

[ukkid35]

Is there a commonly accepted 0-150 time?

I've recently seen 22.5 mentioned, but no idea whether that is realistic

Here are some possible times from ten years ago to put that in to context

8.5 seems to be a commonly accepted 0-100 time, which is not too shabby...

I think Ive only ever gotten mine to 150 once......

[gruffalo]

I had a side by side sprint from about 25 to around 150 with a 612 once, I beat it quite comprehensively, the passenger in the 612 gave me a round of applause when I pulled off, the driver looked somewhat unimpressed.

I regularly do 170 plus on Dottinger Hohe, but that is not from a standing start. So I have no idea what the 0-150 time is in reality.

About 10:40 here with my mum in the passenger seat if you're curious

Fighting Torque 2007 we were running to around 152-155mph in around 26 secs from a standing start. Mines also run a standing start to a mile is a fraction over 31 secs, think that was 177 terminal speed.

That is truly epic.

[FarmyardPants]

what was the macca F1 to 100? 6.8 wasn't it?

[Tanguero]

According to my data logger.

0 - 140 in 23.41 sec
0 - 100 in 12.36 sec

Both on the measured mile at Millbrook. Its wasn't a sprint start though so you could probably knock off a second or two for a granny start.

Thanks, fascinating reading, and a very impressive turnout.

More than that considering the 4.2 was tested at 9 sec 0-100..

Timed a 0-100 mph in my old Red Rose Cerb. 8.9 seconds. Traction was the issue. Seemed fast but the GTR is in a completely different league.

That is the issue with the Cerb.. Getting it off the line. The GTR does it all for you. *YAWN*

Just a personal thing but the GTR may be quick but it is so dull, plastic and really ugly.

Hold up... Trick exhaust just like every tvr... Check 1:28 and it will embarrass seriously expensive machinery ..

I reckon mine can get to 150 in under 15.

Like I said they are quick I acknowledge that but I prefer to actually drive my car where as the GTR is a masterpiece of computer engineering.

Driven one and didn't enjoy the experience, I just got to my destination but didn't enjoy the getting there.
