    I managed a 7.69 sec 0-60 dash timed at Trax 2003

    It was in my old SR with E16SE. Main mods were piper cam & exhaust manifold 110bhp & 120lb/ft full interior and a good launch!

    Was it just using a normal nova speedo, or GPS equipment? Cos you can't rely on the speedo!

    I've just compared my speedo with GPS on my GSi and it was 10mph out!!

    (btw i'm only running 15's with 45 profile tyres so its not that far away from the standard rolling radius)

    My purple valver ran 6.67 best 0-60mph at Oulton Park, with filter/chip/exhaust, no rear seats but a stereo install.

    Tried 6 runs, they were all under 7 secs tested with a GPS system used by Dave Clark (pro race driver) who worked for Max power and Revs (RIP)
