40-70 mph

[Fleet 500]

Okay here is a 60-100 mph acceleration. Actually, starting at 65 mph... the speed creeped up as I was turning the camera on.
This was at almost but not quite full throttle, about 90%. There is usually a slight ping at full throttle and I'm still experimenting with that (timing, fuel, octane boost, colder spark plugs, etc).

The second/ltr ratio is bad. So relatively speaking, it's slow.

The second/ltr ratio? What is that?

s e c o n d s .. p e r .. l i t r e

So, if a car does the same time with half the capacity then it's twice as good

Oh, seconds per liter. That's what it means! I suppose vehicle weight (and gearing) would have to be factored in.

It sounds good to me.

I want to try and take this challenge ! I think my 1Litre Suzuki can do the same accelaration from 40-70 mph (65 to 112 km/h) in the same amount of time. Will buy duct tape and give it a shot later today.

you're thinking perhaps everyone on the forum should do it for comparison's sake?

I'd lose. Im missing an engine mount and the radiator is shot.. but I think my car when running would eclipse that time. clutch would destroy it

Lol same for me. I am literally shooting a small fountain of oil from my engine, my bonnet is an absolute mess from the inside. But I got a drum of 10W40 Shell oil anyway now, for 10€ so I just fill it up instead of fix it and pay more

The mobile oil slick you continue to spread around by not bothering to fix your oil leak means you won't be getting any christmas cards from hapless and perhaps hospitalised motorcyclists

Not to mention that Green peace will lynch him.

LoL for some reason it barely leaks onto the ground.. When parked you see a few drops after driving away, but nothing special really Weirdness ..

That looks like about 9.5 seconds. Not quite the 4.0 I got, but I've seen worse.
