0-60 for your first car?

[pwd95]

If your luckey.... 1972 Morris Marina 1300.

[ch108]

18.6 when new according to wikipedia. I have my doubts it was that quick. God knows what its 0-60 was by the time I got it at 10years old. This was a 1980 Fiesta, 950cc. 60mph really was the limit on the motorway unless you wanted deafness or to be rattled to death.

18 seconds, Seat Malaga 1.5 Porsche system

Infinity, don't think a beat up Mini 1000 made it there.

[Levin]

9.2s. Ford Sierra 2.0 DOHC.

[dbdb]

Nissan 200SX - so IIRC, 6.9 seconds?

[RegMolehusband]

31.0 SECONDS.

Morris 1000 (948cc)

I recall being unable to imagine how a Jaguar E-Type could achieve 0-60 in 6 seconds.

I would have considered myself insane if I could have told myself I'd one day own a car that would do it in 3 seconds

[FN2TypeR]

A Citroën Saxo! 1.1 litres if I recall.

Twelve seconds!

[GOG440]

About 18 secs.
mk2 escort 1.3 pop plus.
It had a low compression 1.3L with a whopping 54bhp, top speed 87mph.
Fixed back vinyl seats, 2 speed heater but because it was the plus model I had 2 wing mirrors and a heated rear screen. I also had non servo front disc brakes (if you got a 1.1 you were stuck with drums all round!)
I traded it for a 1.3 chevette that had adjustable cloth seats and a whopping 60bhp

[Strudul]

5.6s (350Z)

[Mound Dawg]

Mk2 Escort 1100 van, about 21 I think.

Downhill.

[Whistle]
