60-70hp atw will get you to 100km/h in around 9 seconds if that helps

yes it does thank you, and how much more power is then needed to drop that figure by one second and so on. My guess is that is that each subsequent
second will need an increasingly larger gain in horsepower or am i wrong? |

Hi Dave
it's saying that mine is 4.23seconds, but I have measured my car with one of those G-Tech gizmos & got 4.8seconds for the 0-100. Do u know what
yours is in the real word & if so is it different to the computer calc?
regards
Jak

Hi Jak,
I cant really say how accurate it is,
but based on the end of second gear being about 60mph at 8400, it is probably closer to 3.5 seconds:
Just for reference the ca makes 220atw and weighs 809kg.

My Lbug which is the heaviest model bug but also the most aerodynamic was pulling around 7.5 0-100 with my untuned supercharged 1776 which was roughly
about 100hp atw
