Please advise if you know better.
 
Interesting how two of them seem to link up :roll:

Feel free to remove this comment if you think it is inappropriate! :D
 
Or the DUDE spots her MUFF, TAPEs her up and DIVEs in...

Think we'd best leave it at that ;)

Anyone know why there is a difference in acceleration on these two models?
Just curious! :)
 
One is the old one with a lower traction control limiter and one is the newer higher traction control limiter as well as more emission control limiting ever so slightly the performance.
(Hence the two connectors near the HCV on newer models rather than one on older ones)

That's why the pre summer 2000 ones are slightly faster. And why Millennium's have a faster 0-60 on Parkers etc than a std 1.7 as the 1.7 they compare the millie to was one of the later pumas.

Older 1 Sensor (Black):
[albumimg]124[/albumimg]

Later 2 Sensors (Turquoise and Blue):
[albumimg]344[/albumimg]

And the later one is 0-62.
 
Evo magazine quote a tested standard 1.7 at 8.6s for 0-60 and 7.8s for the FRP.

I've had 130ish on my GPS on the German autobahn with about 1000 revs at least to go in 5th but that was 17" wheels which makes a bit of difference.
 
im on 18s but iv got a £200 digital speedo thats set to the millimetre of the circumference of my tyres & iv had 123.6mph
 
For those curious about the integrated spoiler, heres a little snippet from the inside story.

If you look at this first one, you can see how slippery the back end was. This proved to be unstable at high speeds.

This model was much closer to the final production model, and you can see the 'flick' of the rear spoiler.

Ive got it with me in work, i was thinking of scanning it all and uploading it, but not sure on copyright issues.
 
dont like the back end of the yellow one at all. looks really heavy and lazy, doesnt give the impression of speed at all in my opinion
 
Yes, i agree its not the prettiest. But if that had been the one that was released, who knows what you would of thought of it.
 
1.4 L - 1998 – 2000
88 Bhp
Maximum speed 112 mph
0-60 mph 10.8 s
30-50 mph 8.6 s
MPG 39
Insurance Group 9


I have reached 0-60 in less than that with ease
 
1.7 L - 2000+ Models
123 Bhp
Maximum speed 126 mph
0-62 mph 9.2 s
31-62 mph 9.7 s

MPG 38
Insurance Group 12/13

Something seems terribly wrong with this?

Why does it take 0.5 of a second longer to get from 31-62mph than it does from 0-62mph??
 
The later models were fitted with a torque limiter that made them a fraction slower on accleration.
