Thinking about it could have used that calculator thing. It's stripped yes but with full cage? Must be around 1200kg?

They aren't 100% accurate but it won't be a million miles off, sounds quick. I think you have to give or take a second at that speed

That's an awesome 0-100 time
Fiesta looks mental too! Was along at PHQ the other day. Not keen on the front end, but who cares with that power

my 0-100 time was 9.8seconds with my 300bhp in 860kg's, 0-60 was 3.9seconds
ak's is about 300kg heavier with 100bhp more and alot more torque so i cant see it being too far off that tbh.

Exactly, 1 second is an eternity when you are talking short sprints like that. pretty big margin of error if its a second!

If they aren't that accurate, why do all the companies use them for lap times at the Ring?
