Ah... you see, thats where the confusion must have come from, if you went to the lovely estate that is Rylands... the shops are always boarded up there... Im taking that you obviously didnt stop the car from moving otherwise you'd have been on blocks wondering what the hell happened to your wheels

Mine is running exactly 300bhp and it quotes 4.28 which seems about right too.

12.6 1/4 mile is pretty impressive, I took my T25 to Santa Pod a couple of weeks ago, the best time I managed was 13.5 secs. Admittedly it was 30 degrees, but the they are supposed to be able to do a 1/4 in low 12's

I wasnt meaning your thoughts on the actual figure in relation to the real 0-60 times, it was more the fact you questioned my maths like Id worked it out wrong... I got flash backs of being at school again 
As for the 12.6... theres more to come from that now I've got an uprated clutch/lightened flywheel fitted and a couple of other mods... want to get into the 11's but that'll be next year by the time I've got everything done to achieve that.

Bob'5s managed 3.7 to 60 and 11.7 in a 340bhp classic....so it can be done.
