Isn't there a sticky on this?

That's not a such a straight forward question as you think!

Consider that there are substantial differences due to modifications carried out by a lot of people.

Are we talking standard cars?

Anything you like, as long as you tell us what your running, where and when, only having a laugh, found the time sheets for the fastest times soon as I posted this! And yes there are so many variables with spec it's not relevant. Interesting what people say, if you go by the clock and stop watch, joke mine would do 3.5 secs to 60, I wish, speedo is miles out. I suppose you can only go by official times really, just want to know what to aim for.

If you mod your 450, you could run a 12.4-5, probably give you a 0-60 in about 4 seconds.

Great, I'll use that as my bench Mark. Tyres and brakes to do and I'm looking to have a go later in the year, just the feel of all that power and grip sounds a real thrill, without the corners to try and kill you, yeah a great day out, yep if I could do sub 4 sec to 60mph I'd be made up. Outrageous, brilliant, awesome. Car is very standard bar bit more comp, kent 885 cam, will have Dom of powers plenom and inlet pipe adapt by then, so not expecting to set records but it would be good to get a standard ish benchmark before I go power obsessive crazy. It's a terrible drug power, never can get enough and will sell ya old girl to buy bigger valves or even a turbo! Yes I've said it. See you start to loose all sence of reality. Ha ha ha!

Good luck with your mods and keep us posted.

Have a look at my engine spec on my profile, should be good for at 12.5 or better.

That's the bloody business, looks real good on track, well balanced, engine bay is lovely, spec is as good as any, greatwork. Based on that I got no chance, yet. Lol I want to tour abit so tempers me, but that's how to do it. If I wrote a list it would read the same? Just great.
