Last RR day I was at they were trying 0-60 runs with a couple of cav turbos.
They could only hit 58 in 2nd before the rev limiter spoiled the fun. They were on 17" wheels but I dont know the tyre profile.
The owner thought it would hit 60 as his speedo said it would do 60 in 2nd, but speedo innacuracies meant its only doing an actual 58.
Need to raise the rev limit for 60 in 2nd

I would hope so.... Mark made up the calculator using gear ratio figures from either his own Vauxhall brochures or from information given to him from other ppl's brochures that he didnt have.
They are legit Vauxhall figures he uses. After that, its just a matter of maths.
My F20 box with the current 15" wheels does do a proven 60mph in second, and i have the graph it anyone wants it posted. I would doubt a standard F28 would be able to as it has longer gear ratio's.

Brand new tyres on it the week before the rolling road day and believe it or not it was a scorcher of a day
