Hi all,
We run data logging on Roy's lightweight MK1 GTD and have recorded the following:

172+ Mph at Heyford Aerodrome (2000)
0-60 Mph in 3.7s at Longleat (2001)
0-100 Mph in 7.6s at Longleat (2001)
Standing quarter in 12.14s @ 128 Mph at the Brighton speed trials (2002).

I'd have to recall the data to check the revs, but the logged speeds tally with the speed trap at several events.

The car weighs approx 1040Kg and has adequate power (450+) with an all alloy, stroked 302 (347) and Kinsler / Motec aka 'Smart-Tech'

ps - as a passenger with Roy driving - 7990 rpm sounds awesome inside the car giving 84+ Mph in second on tall road tyres.
