**** a duck.

Thats rapid for a standard XE isn't it?

Reason is, car i'm thinking of buying does 0-60 in 5.9. Quickest car i've owned is an XE Nova so wondered what the difference would be.

Did a 14.2s 1/4 too whereas most are around 14.8s. Just seems to go well for some reason.

Make sure you keep that XE somewhere safe then. lol

Have you started work on the shell for the LET?

Keeping it as spare given my track record with LET's.

Just going to throw the LET in, don't think the shell has another MOT in it anyway lol

I reckon an XE Nova running full interior and road tyres would be around 7secs or a tad lower.

When mine was on the road I could only manage around 6 seconds due to not beng able to put the power down using road tyres.

I'm thinking of an n/a VX220. So it should be pound for pound quicker than an XE Nova.

I ran my times on road tyres with full road trim apart from rear seats removed. Got 2.2s 60ft time too so put the power down pretty well.

When mine ran a 14.2 qtr my intermediate times led to an estimated 0-60 of about 6-6.5 sec. That was road tyres but with full int strip.
