0-100-0 World Record

[Simondo]

Hi Guys

There is a new world record holder on the 0-100-0 for a factory built car.

Ultima Sports today recorded a 0-100-0 time of 10.3 Seconds in a standard Ultima GTR package, with an American Speed Engine (the company's recommended engine supplier).

The 644bhp SBC revved to 7600 and managed the 100mph sprint in 5.9 seconds, stopping just 4.4seconds later.

This shaves 1 second off the time set by the Holy Grail, the Macca F1, and pokes a half second gap over the Cateram R400, the previous world record holder.

It should be possible to better that time with a few practices.

Full details are here And there are three cool videos to download.

A top British car with a top American engine - good call

sweeeeet

although I am sad to see the F1 dethroned

[Simondo]

..but the F1 still has it on top end at 231mph

241.3 not 231...

I dunno about that. The mclaren that was for sale supposedly has 1000 hp or atleast it says its a gtr btw racing calipers it can break faster and accel faster there fore it must be quicke the Lm's record is 10.9 so 350 hp later and even more well devoloped brakes hmm. It might be B.S about the 1000 but if its true then it will.

agree, but we r talking about a factory standard car and not a modded 1 tho

[jcsaleen]

Thats not moded if mclaren makes it strait for racing its made that way by there racing team

but i HAS to be a factory production moedl and not a 'one off'

McLaren is just down the road from me (about 8 miles) I have visited their place on a factory tour 5 years ago. They only ever manufactured the F1 LM.

I had an F1 for an afternoon (while my Lister Storm was being borrowed by the owner fo the F1) and I can honestly say mosy people don't even know what it is !

I pulled up outside a country pub and me n she done dinner; when we came outside there was 1 bloke who was creaming and knew what it is was at, some others fools were looking at a red prehistoric E-type Jag.

By comparison, the F1, although so modest, was unknown by joe public !

Indy racing cars have the ability to go 0-100-0 in 7 seconds, or so i was told?...

The Hen Viper does it in 9.99. Or is it not factory?

[Getsum3kgtsl]

Sorry, people. It does it in 10.1

[slagwater]

This car rocks !! But are they built assembled here in the states, or in the UK where I might import an assembled one from ?
