I can't see many people being able to beat this.

I shall do this 2nite, I can assure u it will be quicker than that

I'm not so sure

All comes down to ratios really!!

I know in mine, at 50mph in 4th, i'm just at the start of my power band (3k-4k), which ends at around 85mph.

But my brother's GTi 6, dispite pushing almost 190bhp, its long ratios mean that in 4th @ 50mph its at like 2k revs, and so well off cam. (still pretty fast, but it wud kick arse in 3rd instead).

Wouldn't have thought it'd be that quick in the ctr

seen as it'll not be near the vtec for a good few k rpm

Interesting program Patrick - I see there's an option for 'number of wheels'. Good to know the Robin Reliant hasn't been forgotten.

The program looks pretty efficient, only problem I see is the fact that it assumes all that power sees its way to the tarmac

What a surprise

1st attempt: 7dead (twisty A road, bad start)
2nd attempt: 6.77 (dual carriageway - not fully clear, 1 overtake necy)
3rd attempt: 6.48 (also dual carriageway - completely clear)

Will try again some time in the evening next time I am on the A40

VTEC hits at just over 80 in 4th in general

Would be quicker, bit of turbo lag at that speed in 4th so took a second to spool up
