Well since TB's 0-60 post, thought i should give the 2.2 a spin. Not driven it in a week.

Surprise surprise the battery was flat  :'( -  Must sort that.

Went over to Tesco got the pressures checked and off to Slough to warm up, on the way back i was at the front of the lights, remembered TB's post, decided to try mine.

This was joining the M4, cold evening and flat road (so best chance for the 2.2)  ::)

Held revs at 2k, on the clutch biting point, lights went amber, clutch up and off i went.....

Hit 60 in 8.9 seconds!!!!  :D :D :D

Book says 9.5, only me inside the car, put a passenger in and i am sunk, but I am well pleased with that!  :)

I actually did this the other day also, in EP's old Elite which is now my Dads new Elite, just before i dropped it off at his house. Set the Stopwatch and floored it, hit 60 and stopped it, 0-60... 7.6 sec :o Don't know how accurate this was as it was done by myself and i only tried it once, but this car is chipped so could be possible ;)

Was it a manual or Auto? people who have had theirs chipped to comment it makes a big difference

You try pressing the buttons! I cant get the same time but usually in that range.

Also getting it as it passes 60 soemtimes you can be too slow!

Ahhhh the old silver streak, it does feel quicker than the manual estate but both the multirams are not working on the estate so ive just ordered a one way valve to see if that will do the trick
