I don't think anybody really uses 0-60 as a gauge for anything anymore, seems to be a bit of a useless measurement.

 

This… It made me laugh the other day when I was on track, I had a guy come up to me and ask me about the car what’s been done power blah blah blah and then he said what is the 0-60... I couldn’t tell him as I really don’t know...

I ended up saying “very quick”... I then demonstrated that by out dragging a supercharged Ariel Atom down the pit straight :D (not quite the same thing but he got the idea).

Did it have a Union Jack on the front, full aero kit and the guy driving, a skull on his bash hat? He normally does the circuits up here and always seems paranoid in case anybody has a quicker motor?

Is this Jurgen chap a good dealer to visit if a Jap import is on the cards then? Obviously, if no-one from here is selling when I'm buying!

 

One of the best. You'd struggle to find a cleaner car from anyone else. Following JM Imports on Facebook might as well be porn.

When I had my N/A me and a mate timed it (ok so not the most accurate thing) this bear in mind was on terribly bumpy Tarmac with some very well worn Pirelli's and it was around the 7 second mark, so given some decent tyres and a better road, I reckon a 6.8 or something around that sort of time is quite achievable.
