16.5 second quarter mile?
Um.....forgive me if I'm being stupid here, but isn't that a bit crap? Especially for what the car is? |

It is Ben. Now you know is full name. As for the time. It was his first go. With what looked like a 1/4 tank of fuel left. There more time in the car. Listen to the length of the gearchange's etc. plus Ben hit the limiter twice. Any here a quick clio.

I thought Ben's was also a 2.0 throttle bodied clio? Hence why I thought the time of 16.5 seconds was shite |

In the third run me and the Escort set off at precisely the same time and I stuck closer to it than I did the Lotus.
And the 1.8 Lotus went like stink but it did have power to weight to it's advantage.
I was most impressed with my reaction times, best was .664 IIRC, best you can get is .5! |
