Are we talking 0-100mph 'traffic light sprint' or more what i would call 'real world' performance. ie on a dc with a Monaro up ya chuff.

if you set the delorean to go back in time say 20 seconds, so the car will be going 88 mph when the car actually started the 0-100 time trial. so the total 0-100 time will be about 2 seconds. thats pretty quick.

i think i just confused myself \:D

Best bet IMO would be an E39 BMW M5, a decent 7 year old car would still leave you with about 10k change \:\)

Right, I've been constructing an Excel document that will help me get times like these for coops of all bhp. It is suggesting around 12.8 secs for a 300bhp coop from 0-100mph. You'd need around 340bhp (according to my calculations) to break 11 secs and 445bhp to dip under 10.

Some 1/4 mile times as well as terminals with various bhp figures would help me ensure it is farily accurate \:\)

I read in a recent article that even an unmodified Coupe can blast from 50 to a 100 quicker than a lot of performace cars - any evidence to back this up? I would expect a modified one to be even quicker then!
