Does anybody know what an average 0-60 time is on a redtop nova? Someone I know claims its about 5/ 5.5 is it more about 6ish?

lol not this again...

IIRC there have been a few threads about this. All well debated!! Have a hunt. TBH though, it isnt an exact science. Driver, car etc all play a part.

Too many variables to give a proper answer, full interior or stripped, tyres, suspension, back seats folded down, list goes on.

At least as quick as a 911 GT3 because I overtook one on the motorway and then he touched his rear view mirror which means he was definitely racing

mines only standard redtop part from a power cap so im guessing mine will do it in about 7-8 seconds at a guess

every single XE is different, you will not come across 2 engines that are the same performance wise, ever

Depends whether you have washed it or not and if the magic tree still smells good

That'd be the 60ft time rather than mph then? lol

0-60 in first gear & 3.something seconds.

Assuming it's got the right bits on it.
