I have to shift to 2nd as soon as I'm rolling then feed through 2nd to 3rd but even third spins lol 4th gear wheelspin in the wet coming off a roundabout :/

So zero chance against an M3 then which can put its power down 2nd upwards.

Can't believe the vs M3 debate is still going on?

Rizo-UK · 1 Aug 2012 at 14:01

Lol what tourqe and bhp does an m3 have at 2-3krpm?

Rizo-UK · 1 Aug 2012 at 14:03

Although in fairness I can just nail it and let the ESP manage traction

Even with ESP wheel spinning is quite easy.

So the ESP will be removing your power to try and prevent wheelspin, not exactly ideal.

I know all too well what ESP does to the Astra.

You need to come out in it again since I've got some new tyres for it agw, it grips HARD now even in first knocked .3 seconds off the 0-60 with new rubber and there's more in it I reckon.

5.6 prior to tuning with good tyres, 5.3 after with worn tyres, 5.0 with new rubber after tuning 30-70 in 3.87 seconds

Hi m8

30-70 is practically EVO quick! The EVO stock was 3.7s 30-70mph, think once it was running about 410BHP it was circa 3.5s. So that is pretty damn quick!

The EVO 60-100mph was 5.9s stock and about 5.5s area when it was running 410BHP.

The 911 I need to re-check as I can't find the results file with them in which is annoying, but I remember 60-100mph in the 911 is sub 5s.

The Mustang though still undisputed champion, 2.75s 30-70mph and 4.2s on the 60-100mph sprint. :eek:
