Or you could drop one of these in the 120

videos rigged imo ,first one shows it setting off at just before 4 seconds and it hits 60 at 11 seconds dead ,so its just over 7 seconds to 60.
But look how it pulls round to a ton by 21 seconds ,so thats 0-100 mph in 17 seconds ,thats comfortably faster than a zs 180 and he only has induction and exhaust so is making 125 bhp if hes lucky.
The video is made going down hill ,its the only explanation.

hi jim. how r u. do you know what the 1.8 turbo k series is tunable. been looking to get mine chipped but cant find anywhere that do them. tryed superchips, bluefin and chiptuning uk. its 160bhp standard so shouldnt be that hard to get it to around the 200bhp mark. or would that be putting to much strain on the engine (head pistons ect)

there may be a few things hes not telling us. if i had a 1.8 that accelerated to 60 in that time i wouldnt give all my secrets away. mabye the car is also stripped all that extra weight gone would improve the 0-60 time

nah its rubbish ,stripping wouldnt make that much difference .
Standard zs 120 is about 30 seconds to 100 mph ,so hes knocked off 13 seconds

Is there any possability that these may not even be done on the road? Like maybe on a RR where the car doesn't have to actually move it's whole weight... just the rollers? That could possibly mean less friction as well and reducing the 0-60 time.

Just 'throwing an option out there'...
