All this talk of acceleration times at SPod ...
to you all - you're obviously just jealous that our cars are faster and hold their value better...

DavidRB,
it would have to be older, they havent built a decent ford since the model T!
Anyway, everyone knows fords get faster as they get older, the more bits drop off em, the lighter they get
At about 25 years they weight less than 1 of the old baked bean cans they used to make the bodywork.

... may be put into perspective with this. I was flicking thru an old copy of Car the other night, and found an article about a *road-legal* Citroen Xantia rallycross car, which holds the French championship. 700bhp from a 2.0 lump, 42psi boost, 4WD.
Car tested its acceleration as follows:
0-60: 2.55 seconds
0-100: 5.4 seconds
what's more, it hit 60 in just 112 feet (37 yards!) from rest. Now I'd like to have a go in that!

Might be worth posting this on the RSOC BBS, there is bound to be a quicker 2wd Cossie that handles better on there
