>BMW M5!!!!!
>standard 30-70 - 6.8
>standard 30-50 - 5.0
>standard 0-100 - 12.7!!!!!

That 30-50 time doesnt seem that impressive at all - I would be interested to time the 360 in 2nd over that range - I would have guessed before reading that that it would take about 5s...so now I'm confused!

The figures Kevin Strong quoted me for his 360 turbo would beat that - and that was before the most recent upgrades. Phew...a 360 faster than an M5!!! That'd be an eye-opener!

0-60 in 6s,
0-100 in 12, when running circa 250BHP, IIRC. Now 315BHP?

cheers

A TURBO TIMER ALLOWS YOU TO VARY THE RATE OF BOOST MATCHED WITH RPM, OVER A SPECIFIED TIME. THIS OPTIMISES THE AMOUNT OF BOOST USED AND YET SUSTAIN TRACTION. IT IS A VARIABLE UNIT THAT MAY BE SET FOR VARYING CONDITIONS, WEATER, TYRES USED, AMOUNT OF THROTTLE USED ETC.

NOTE MY ERROR ON 0-50MPH TIME, THAT WAS IN 'TOP GEAR'!!

IMPRESSIVE TIMES YOU QUOTE AT THE BOTTOM WHEN RUNNING 250BHP, PLEASE CLARIFY THE CAR THESE FIGURES ARE FOR??

LATER DAYS

Those figures are for a Volvo 360, fitted with a B230ET (740 Turbo) engine. This is a custom job, but a popular modification. I am planning to do it myself when I get around to it!

cheers

SOUNDS MOST EXCELLENT, GOOD LUCK WITH IT. I MAY TAKE OUT 360's WITH MORE CAUTION IN FUTURE.
