        Granted guys, however, I'm just looking for approximate figures for a 500bhp car on standard gearing.

          This says approximately 3.5 seconds 0-60

            I would say about 4 seconds to 60.

            Top speed in theory with a standard 5th gear ratio and 245/35-18" tyres is 196.mph !!

            Chances of achieving 196 are probably about zero I've seen 175mph on the Stack dash, there may have been some more to come but that was enough for me and I was running out of road !! Was chasing a V10 Viper at the time and he wasn't Getting away

              T4 turbos and escos gearboxes don't like 0-60 lol without breaking oh and front diffs so I don't do it....

                what I was thinking off, is that some "500bhp" setup can be slower to 60 the OE... and others can do it in like 1.5-2sec...

                I had 185mph With a 350-400bhp saph on speedo not sure about power on it, but was a very quick and drivable car, With greys,netics e50(or e46) 1.6 or 1.8bar boost++ nothong big, just a very good setup..

                      Agree with some of this but it's down to transmission/diff= sequential
                      The facts are simple for 0-60
                      do you care weather you fuck your standard mt75 casing box/front diff doesn't matter weather it's pd quaife dome anything with 6-1/2 front diff will break first with a launch.

                      The only cars doing good 0-60 4x4 wise in good times will be fellas who have the cars equipped or don't give a fuck it boils downto this

                      BALLS OR MONEY lol...

                        Haha well put Dai.

                        Thanks for the info guys. Was just interested to see theoretically what my car could do if I launched it. Not that I'm planning to

                            Marks old 400/400 conversions would pull 3.2 secs 0-60 at Ford Fair back in the day. Tony Brooks car was a monster.
