Competition time! Fastest car for £1500

[Somnophore]

Right here's the rules

car must be listed on pistonheads for £1500 or less
it must be a standard vehicle or we will only count standard performance
performance is judged on parkers measurements

0-60 time is the first measure
if there is a tie it's top speed
if there is a tie then torque

the prize is a Driving Experiences Direct Porsch 911 Blast driving experience

2-3 laps in a 911 turbo plus hot passenger lap.

Must be used by 20/10/10

you have until midnight Sunday to post submissions on the thread. Winner will be announced Monday

If you can post 0-60 times with you submissions it will make things easier

Wouldn't have a clue about 0-60 times but I'd hazard a guess at around 5-6 something?! Looks like damn good fun for next to no cash anyway!!

0-60 5.1 I think.

Twin turbo model. I'm getting different 0-60 figures from different websites :S. Does anybody know the actual figure?

More like high fives. When my rev3 turbo was standardish(cat back and k&n cone) I couldn't get the 0-60 below around 5.7 timed using GPS.

Some form of crazy Jap turbo will no doubt win.

4.7 0-60 from here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/2735678/Buyers...

"Officially imported two-door WRX P1 with 277bhp, 4.7sec 0-60 and 155mph at 7,500rpm priced at £31,495."

Plain Vanilla WRX will never get near 4.7 in standard trim.
