Hi guys

Just had a bit of a play with a friends performance box on the weekend and laid down some times in my decatted 4.2.

With a full tank of fuel and some tools on board I got:

30-70 : 3.4 seconds
50-70 : 1.7 seconds

Both times were recorded in second gear. Its a nice gauge of performance as it doesn't rely on a launch which can be variable plus all of the magazines rate cars over these increments so you can see how if fairs against other current cars wink

Anyone figured a 4.5 or a RR? Or a Speed 6 for that matter?

For reference, this is the magic box : http://www.performancebox.co.uk/

We have one of these, and undoubtedly have the figures, but we'll get some fresh ones for you after the Brighton Speed Trials on the 11th. smile
