Took the T350 to Trax this weekend. Gave it a run down the 0-60 strip to see how it would get on. Was aiming for the book time of 4.4 seconds.My attempts were made a little difficult as it decided to rain when I made my way over to the strip. The first attempt ended in abit of sideways action with massive loss of traction.Second went a lot better and I managed a 4.91 even after bogging down off the line...which I am more than happy with, as the conditions were really not on my side. I now love the car more than ever and don't regret getting rid of my RS. Think next time out some sticky tyres are needed.

A vid should crop up at some point once my mate has edited it down.

Has anyone else run there's and what sort of times have you managed?

They have a 0-60 camera set up at some of the York raceway meets.
I hit 4.3 seconds 2 or 3 times then suddenly it all came together and recorded a 3.63 in my nitroused Chimaera on Mickey thompsons.
Its suprising what can be achieved if the conditions are right.

One thing to note however at York is that you can get a small rolling start between the stage light and green. Only would account for a tenth or 2 tho.

I believe Evo tested the 350 and managed 4.8.

That would make my 4.9 in the wet not bad at all.

How accurate was the timing?

Events like this can sometimes be set up to flatter the participants.

The timing gear wasn't paticularly good. I will be wanting to get it measured with some proper GPS gear at some point.
