You have manual, yes?

I am yet to do another proper test of mine with shifting 3->4, but initial test shows that I loose more time by shifting than by redlining so its possible I simply cant do better.

I did some YT digging yesterday and come across similar tests on other cars, just as comparison:

2015 Mustang V6 - ~8sec

335d - under 8 sec

also some of 0-160 accelerations but I think measuring 60-140 from those is not comparable as it has full boost already when at 60 so probably a tad bit quicker, but still, to compare:

2018 Volvo S90 2.0 T6 Polestar - 8 sec
Superb 2.0TD 200HP - 12 sec

Anyway, interesting results.

Eagerly awaiting Dom's time now, any other T5s - welcome!!
These Belgian Forvo 5-pots don't do too bad do they!
Yes my car is indeed a manual, infact my full 'spec' is in my profile.
Will try and get a better video ASAP, tried to use cruise control but the runway wasn't long enough...
