My old 120L 4 speed, a slightly more advanced newer twin choke carbed car as standard is listed as have a 0-60mph time as 17 seconds. Redlining every gear you could probably get that down to about 14 (it makes peak BHP at just below the 5500rpm redline). It was fun an very chuckable, and not bad if you kept the power on in a gear lower than you would use for steady driving, but so bloody noisy on the motorway that it had to go which is a shame. -- Carl Robson The poster formally known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
