Anyone have an idea what a standard Metro Turbo 1/4 mile time is.
Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Basically I'm aiming to take the 998 turbo roadcar to York to see what its 1/4 mile time is. I reckon it's on a par with a standard metro turbo and I'm wondering what that might be. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Was thinking that. Messaged Jon about MITP & taking the metro's up & perhaps promote the Championship abit. He reckons approx 17-18secs for 1/4. I think the metro might have better traction off the line, but never done it. Be interesting though. A standard metro turbo must be at least 2-3 seconds slower. Edited by Jason G on 14th Feb, 2008.

Well my bog standard metro running completely standard boost settings 18.527 @73.39mph in febuary 06 on poo tyres! I reckon you could knock half a secound off that with good tyres ideal conditions and a good driver |

i must have been doing something wrong at MITP to only get a 15 dead. although the 97 terminal (i.e. on the rev limiter) and the lack of launch control (my right foot) didnt help. |

I'm starting to wonder....they are same-ish power...200kgs lighter...but we have lsd. Would the extra weight help in traction etc?

Interesting, my 60bhp standard weight mini (3.1 diff) did an 18 second 1/4, so I'd like to be in the low 17s. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

fingers crossed i'll be running an LSD this year so should make a massive difference. although saying that i dont expect to be quick on the strip as a mig is very heavy compared to most and i've not got the biggest bunch of bananas |

say for arguments sake that a miglia is 130bhp and a milambers metty puts out 130bhp too in my mind the extra torque of the metro engine could go a way to making up for the extra weight. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:
