GTR to Claim 0-100-0 World Record?
Discussion
I've only recently become acquainted with the Ultima GTR and Can-Am. The performance, even with a fairly standard motor (350-400bhp) seems incredible
However, some of you are talking about motors producing 750bhp and more
How about showing the World what a real SUPERCAR can do and claim the 0-100-0 World Record from the Caterham R500?!?!
Any takers - CJ?!

Hi Everyone
It's been facinating to read the debate about 0-100-0 times and the technicalities of beating the R500
I've just checked the times of the group of cars that attempted the run at the same time as the Record Breaking R500
(www.r500.com)
It's interesting that the Pagani C12S was a very close 2nd with 11.84secs
compared to the R500's 11.44secs
Interestingly, the Pagani's spec makes very interestng reading: 550bhp 553 ft-lb Dry Weight 1250Kg 0-60 3.7sec (claimed) Brakes f: 355 (14in) 4-pot r: 325 (14in) 4-pot

Perhaps the Ultima can claim the Ultimate World Record after all...
Thoughts?

For reference: here are the performance stats from the Autocar Road Test for the McLaren F1:
0-30: 1.8s, 40: 2.3; 50: 2.7; 60: 3.2; 70: 3.9; 80: 4.5; 90: 5.6 100: 6.3secs
1st Gear: 65mph; 2nd: 95; 3rd: 125; 4th: 150; 5th: 180; 6th: in excess of 230mph
Standing Qtr Mile: 11.1s/138mph
Standing Km: 19.6s/177mph
30-70 through gears: 2.1s
Here also are the incremental times for the F1LM's 0-100-0 former record (see www.mclarencars.com):
0-10: 0.9s; 20: 1.5; 30: 2.0; 40: 2.6; 50: 3.4; 60: 4.0; 70: 4.5; 80: 5.0: 90: 5.9; 100: 6.7; 90: 7.3; 80: 7.7; 70: 8.1; 60: 8.5; 50: 8.9; 40: 9.4; 30: 9.8; 20: 10.2; 10: 10.7; 0: 11.5sec
Perhaps Autocar or similar mag might be interested in covering an attempt on the record and might even cough up some dosh to help...
Great to see the cars at Santa Pod. My two children got very excited - now I have to build my own.
Great to see the cars running - shame about the CanAm breaking on the day
