No worries ...

But seriously, 11 seconds are Porsche, Ferrari and Lambo figures. Maybe you misread or something, but a standard Uno Turbo doing it in 11 seconds is - well - impossible.

I'm looking at a Wiki link of the Porsche GT2 now (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_911_GT2)

993 :

0 - 60 mph 3.9
quarter mile 12.1 at 117mph


996 :

-60 mph 3.7 s
0-100 mph 8.3 s
1/4 Mile 11.9 at 120mph
Top speed 319 km/h (198 mph)

997 :

Top Speed 331 km/h (206 mph)
0-100 km/h 3.7 s
0-200 km/h 10.6 s
0-30 mph 1.2
0-60 mph 3.3 s
0-100 mph 7.3 s
0-150 mph 15.9
0-186 mph 33.0
1/4 Mile 11.2 at 129mph

Still searching for it. From what I recall the guy tampered with the Boost and the odd exhaust and what not. Added 1 extra injector to the Boost pipe and so forth. Nothing to constitute it not being standard. The engine and Turbo was standard, and the engine never opened.

Was a red one which even had a go at that Louis Lima Bakkie. I just can't recall the damn drivers name, would make it so much easier.

I'll bet my salary on the Uno taking it. I have seen a Standard Uno Turbo do the 1/4 in under 11 seconds with the right driver.
Now I think you're BS'ing :D Even with Schumi at the wheel it's not possible for a stock Uno to do that time (assuming the guy didn't remove every bit of trim from his car).

Ok no wait :D

I apologise, it's SUB 12 in was in the 11's. Found the guys name now from a friend, trying to find the Uno now and maybe a time posted somewhere. This friend just confirmed it was just under 12's not 11. He says around 11.8 or something.

I still call BS, there's no way it could be standard. Even messing with the boost means it's been modified.

S2000 vs Alfa 147 2.0... S2000 win.

@Coast :cool:

S2o00 would win at the coast, the reef, on a mountain, on any continent, in a near vacuum and at any performance competition he can begin to imagine

I've contemplated NOS for my S2000 instead of forced induction - but apparently its not a good idea :(

If that is the case, I apologize. I was talking via word of mouth (I saw this Uno at a race and was told it's standard, barring some minor tweaks). And that is the fastest Uno I have ever seen :eek:

Dude with cars you get two types of people:
- Those driving stock cars claiming they have every mod imaginable
- Those who have every mod imaginable and claim it's stock

The bottom line is you shouldn't believe a word of what people tell you because it's almost certainly BS. I haven't met many guys who were honest about their cars and it's limitations - everyone thinks they're a superhero :p
