you told your wife that? and she hadn't switched off by the end of the sentence? wow, you are a lucky man.

These figures are a nonsense.

None of them are repeatable with any consistency and all will vary with octane rating, ambient tempterature, humidity, tyre choice, mechanical sympathy etc.

I can't believe people are arguing over 0.2 secs in the quarter with so many variables unaccounted for. Its just rubbish!!

She did ask, but I think she was asking to be polite as her eyes glazed quickly thereafter and she started talking about the theatre and shopping

4) P1 13.9 @ 104 mph

These figures may vary slightly between sources, but I've put the ones that turned up most consistently.

Sorry Tony.

We're talking published figures here guys, so you can't 'disagree' with them! And I did say that some times varied by a tenth here and there depending on the source (notably the 22B).

If my information is correct, the times for the WR1 were achieved by the Prodrive team while they were developing the car, so it doesn't matter what you saw someone else do on another occassion. Too many variables to even begin to consider why there is a difference.

I may have missed the point (and excuse me if I have) but the WR1 is not (out of the box) is it ?

Surely the Scoobynetter that asked the question was after your own opinions on what you have seen or heard was the quickest out the box lets make a list and see how many peoples actually correspond with each others.

By the way Bubba Poo are you an enthusiast? If not dont come near Tony Burns. Right Fella. or he will HAVE YA

Interesting that the EVO 5 has a faster 1/4 than the EVO 8, thought the 8 felt slower in the test drive

Not altered by customers! You can't buy a WR1 without that specification. You might as well say no car is unmodified since they all come with engines and wheels. What is your definition of an unaltered car? A box of air?
