New recorded 0-60 time
Discussion
I was racing at York again this weekend and the 0-60 speed camera was out in the right hand lane so I chose that lane for most races.
With a 70 shot of gas later on Monday afternoon I recorded 0-60 in 3.05 with a 60 foot time of 1.64.
Having done a 60 foot of 1.59 before this weekend I reckon there must be a sub 3 in the car.

Great time!
I was at the Wings & Wheels air and car show at Dunsfold on Saturday. Lots of ironwork there!
I had a mooch over to the Tesla stand. Their large, top of the range saloon, 4 wheel all electric drive and allegedly, 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds, there is no hope
Yeah but ask it to drive up to Shakey and then do it. May be like a milk float then !I was at the Wings & Wheels air and car show at Dunsfold on Saturday. Lots of ironwork there!

Totally agree so much comes down to tyres. thats not a pop at Derek he certainly knows how to launch great figures there A decent road or track day tyre might just get you below 2 seconds to 60 foot.
Heres a little food for thought. This is while running on Mickey Thompsons. Notice the differences from a ‘cold’ tyre to a hot and sticky pair after a smokey burnout.
I had a bye run at the weekend so I did no burnout and drove off the line as you would at the traffic lights. I changed gears as I would on the road but still took the revs to 6k in each gear.
Trying hard before hand I was getting high 1.7’s to 60 foot, 1/8th in 7.8 at 89 and the ¼ in 12.1 at 112
On this relatively gentle run my 70 foot was 1.96, 1/8th in 8.2 at 86 and the ¼ in 12.75 at 110
So the difference launching hard on sticky MTs makes 2 tenths to 60 foot, 4 tenths to the 1/8th and a whopping 6 tenths to the ¼.
Fast gearchanges would only account for a tenth or 2 at best.
So you guys need to get those MTs all hot and sticky and launch hard to get into the 1.7s and the 11’s will come easy.
My 60 foot times with a 70 shot of gas were down to low 1.6’s and I ran 11.1 @ 122

Thanks for that breakdown Derek with your calcs I could see a mid 12 ish which I would be happy with A decent road or track day tyre might just get you below 2 seconds to 60 foot.
