OK, I have discovered tonight that there are several things that make for a bad 0-400m time (1/4 mile) they are as follows...........

Firstly, it doesn't help when you try and do it in sub zero temperatures on icy roads!

Also forgetting to change gear and bouncing hard off the rev limiter in 1st is not conducive to fast times!

Doing it up a hill was probably not too wise either

BUT!

I still did 14.6 with a 0-60 time of 6.17..........all three AYC lights were blinking right in to 3rd gear!!!! and I used the layby and both lanes of my private test track!

Awesome fun!!! Not such a good time, but not bad considering!

I particularly like it when you forget and leave your hand on the stick........when it lurches the reaction makes you push the lever forward......changing down several gears at a time!!!! :laugh:
