When thrashed they will probably give a T4 a run for it's money. 0-60 in the R is 6.5 I believe vs the 7.3 in the T4. Would be close!

How true are those figures though? Tbh the T4 feels quicker than the T5 we have due to the torque curve being changed in the new T5s, Also, as I said in a previous post, my mates BMW 330CI feels slower - Both these cars have 'on paper' a 0-60 time of 6.5 ish and yet the T4 feels faster than both....

I genuinely think the T4 goes quicker than 7.3 to 60, it certainly feels like it!

60 to 80 is very rapid and it just keeps going after that... Needs an LSD though! And I need a job - hopefully sorted this Thursday...
