Not necessarily. But i mean serious hot day with a perfect launch. I can get just over 6 seconds in my Type S and with all the audio in it its probably at 1350kg.

Times for my 5th (203bhp), 4th gen as it is (~207bhp), and the 4th with the new engine (277bhp) and choice of gearbox. I think 4.3 seconds is a bit generous :lol: The numbers I used are from actual dyno printout's of these engines. The only number I have fudged is the transmission loss for the 4th gen calculations. 14% is what my 5th gen achieved on that dyno, it' also a rough average of the rest of the Ludes we took to that dyno.

TBH I think the time for my 5th is bang on 8-) .

The weight would make a big difference wih the 4g numbers tho. Yeah 4.xx is probably a bit out but it doesn't consider the difficulty with launching the extra power or the time spend on the clutch to launch it

Merlin, it would be good to see real world numbers when it's finished ;) I can send my G tech up when I get it if you want...

I suppose 4.3 seconds is nice for a theoretical time. I might need to go to the drag strip at Crail :mrgreen:. mmmm stage 5 clutch and sticky full slicks :D

What weight did you put to get that? Is that with the final drive?
