After driving the buggy all weekend I was blown away by how damn quick it is....
Other than doing a timed 0-60 I figured I would chomp over some figures....
MGF 0-60 time is 8.5 seconds... but weighs 1320 or at least 1060KGS
The lotus elise s1 which also runs the same engine and I think same throttle bodies etc...
Elise 0 - 60 5.7 seconds.... but weighs 785kgs...
so the buggy with a standard mini engine in and full of water and fuel weighs 520kgs... so would I be right in saying that it should be quicker than the elise? so divide 5.7 seconds by 785kgs = 0.0072611 seconds per kilo... times that by 520kgs = 3.77 seconds... still need to add a bit of weight possibly for teh engine and the extra steel and what not... but still bloody quick
what do you recon alan?
