The official 1108 8v 0-60mph is 14seconds. In reality its about 12seconds.
As for the 1242 8v... well the cinq doesnt come with it as standard so there isnt an officical 0-60 but I would expect in the region of 9-10seconds as standard.
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 ????????
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.
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.
