I can provide you with a couple of Datron timed non 'approx of course' figures.......

Corrado VR6 0-60 6.2
Clio 172 Cup 0-60 6.5

Now my maths in not too hot, but even I know that is not 1.5 seconds

Its true mate, a lot of car for the money (11.5k if you search round!). That leaves you enough left over for a few nights out, insurance and a nice summer holiday

what you were saying about figures at the fly and at the wheel, all manufacturers stick to performance figures at the fly. So a Corrado VR6 with 190bhp will only achieve about 120 at the wheel. As for the CTR's, many of them have been thrashed to buggery since birth, whihc causes problems after a couple of thousand miles, ttoo much stress on components. Not given time for oil to fully lube the engine and score away any stray edges in the engines internals.

Just don't bother with at the wheels figures. So long as you compare all cars using the same measurement (ie at the fly) then there will be no problem!
