   what is a good 0-60 time for a VTR as i managed an 8.22 with a 4-2-1 manifold, supersprint race, omp 3" and piperx with cold air feed
   
   (on a dual carriageway on national limit and stopped at a red light so nothing illegal)

   8.2 is alright, s1 rallye gearbox fully stripped out with breathing mods cams etc will see 6.8-7.5 if you can launch the car

   Good time mate, go for a Rallye or XSI box though, will improve it a fair bit
   
   Also shedding weight is a good way to lower your time

   Did you get 60 in 2nd or 3rd as the R cannot reach 60 with the stock rev limit in second.
   
   How did you time it?

    I disagree, you may get an indicated 60, but its not the true road speed. If you look at the ratio calaculators with rev limit, its a couple of mph out.
    
    Stopwatch & mate looking at speed give such errors! Only if its timed with decent calibrated equipment you can state the 0-60 with any conviction......

    The 8.22 you got would probably be in the 9s if you used proper equipment.
