Technical 0 - 60 times

stock 1108 easy, as said before official high 13s, in reality mid 12s. Which 1242 8v? the 60 and 75 8v will deliver different 0-60 times but 2~3 seconds of the 1108 times seems about right.
Turbo variants; hi boost? low boost? What was done to the engine pre-turbo install... but I'd be disappointed if they didn't make sub-7s
 
the 1242 8v is the 60 .. with a 75 cam .... not sure on filter yet .... turbo would be the low blow kit .... all to go in a seicento sporting lowered 40mm on 14" straight through exhaust ( just the cat )


what you recon on a rough 0-60 with the above ????????:confused:
 
Put this in perspective, the first Lotus Elise tipped the scales at 20kg more than the mk1 Sei, it has about 120bhp and lbft it's a sub-6s 0-60 car. At a guess a low boost 1.2 will be 110lbft and 100bhp so shouldn't be to far behind.
 
Hi boost turbos struggle to beat low 7's to 60 from my experience.

Aero dynamics and torque are major factors when trying to better 7sec.

Plus being FWD, no traction control and a total lack of weight over the front wheels.
 
And needing 3 gear changes to reach 60 affect the time. 0-60 is not really a performance calculator as for instance a Corrado G60's 0-60 times is not that impressive as it needs 3 changes but on the road it was a very fast car, whereas conversely a car that needs only 2 changes will on paper look much faster, so don't get too tied up with 0-60 times there a rough indication and nothing more. And most European cars are listed as 0-100KPH which is 0-62 which means 0-60 will/could be quicker by a few hundredths.
 
That's a little disappointing, I've expected a blown cento to be quicker than low 7s area considering my Sei can beat a Focus 2.0 16v (low 8s 0-60) and that's a little low on torque off the line.
