0-60 : just under 15 seconds
Reasons: really heavy rain, on an open diff, cheap tires, greasy country lane... it just wheel spun through till 4th lol.

Seriously? Is this to the speedo because it wont be a 'true' 60mph. My S70 wouldn't even do it in 8.5 and it was quite a fair bit quicker than a 360 GLT. From memory you can't get 60mph in 2nd either in a GLT.

Even with GL one would need bigger radius tyres to get into 60mph.
Standard 360GL that does 0-60 under 9 seconds is daydreams, imo.
But anything is possible when you have enough big downhill and wind from behind
Remember power to weight ratio too, 170hp might be nothing if it is in large enough boat

True, but the S70 still has about 20-25bhp per/ton advantage

It was on the speedo. We ran up down the same bit of flatish road, and took the average. It did have a modified air flow meter from adam on it then aswell i think. But ive taken that off now
