Can anyone direct me to a site that lists the 0-160-0 kph times for supercars and sportscars? I've seen a few in Autocar, but they hardly scratch the surface.
 
Nope, but I know the Shelby Cobra did it in 13 seconds flat (somewhere in the 13's anyway) some 30 odd years ago.

Thank you for you inspired and ingeniuos suggestion. I will forever treasure its simplicity and stubble-jumperedness.
 
I think the Mclaren F1 holds the record at 11.something seconds.
 
I scanned this from Autocar

Gee I wonder what my time would be? I know my 0-160km or 0-100mph which is 8.1 secs.

I would say 12 - 13 dependent on your brakes...

I would go with that - probably closer to 13 or 13.5 as the skyline is quite heavy.
 
the skyline has phenominal brakes. especially for a car that weighs so much.

a lot of owners only use a different compound to improve braking.

yea but 30 yrs ago, the way they timed the cars werent very accurate.
 
The Autocar scan is from last years 0-100-0 test, the Caterham R500 bettered its time in this years test to a figure of 11.25 seconds.

I will see if I can dig out a copy of this years test tonight and scan it in.

If you could, it would be appreciated :D
 
Not had a chance yet, but I will get this done (too much work).
 
Here we go
 
Thanks a bunch Scaff. Much appreciated :)

Drive magazine featured an article by Autocar. Incidentally the Tuscan smoked all the others by some margin.
 
i think i would do about 18 seconds+. I need to get a device to record this.
