Looking for a good source of in gear times for recently bought MY99 + prodrive exhaust + induction as a diagnostic, I SUSPECT SOMETHING IS UP.

60 TO 80 in 5th in 7 seconds, need to compare.

Thanks

Steve

7.7 by a magazine with timing gear on a standard MY99. Speedo readings whilst inaccurate are probably OK as a rough estimate since the 50-70 and the 70-90 are both slower than the 60-80 - balance of boost threshold by midrange torque vs high speed drag.

Thanks John, so no need to panic yet then?!!

Just worried cos my old MY97 bog standard seemed to have more urgency around the same mark.

Can a more powerful car seem slower, I wonder (if the torque is smoothed out perhaps)???
