speed questions?

[TUBZGSXR]

just a couple of questions:
1. Does anyone know the rough 0-60 time, and top speed of a 20litre16v nova?
2. same questions but with a 20litre16valve turbo.....?
Thanx :D

60 time is more dependant on the diff/tyres than power.
You'll probably find most valvers are quicker to 60 than the turbos, (with all else beign equal) as the power delviery is smoother and more easily controlled.
I think on road tyres and with a standard diff you are never going to get much below 7 seconds to 60 in a nova as you dont have enough grip.

top speed is dependant a lot on gearing, but roughly you are looking at 140+ from a vavler and 150+ from a standard turbo, with 160+ easily achieable from a tuned turbo.
