Title: In gear times
Post by: cumino on August 30, 2010, 03:42:03 PM

Hi,

I know what the 0-60 times are for the Brabby...( not much use in the real world!) but its the in gear times I want to find
which to me are of more use...30-50, 50-70..etc in different gears. Its easy to find these figures for other cars , but I can't
find any for the Brabby ??
Any ideas/suggestions please ?

cheers
pb

Really? I'd say a little less, personally, but I've never actually timed it, so I could be wrong.

Defo less than that !! 70-80 only takes about 3 secs !!

Guess it depends on what gear you are in ;)

From memory, these sort of figures/tests are usually conducted in top gear.....so it isn't that bad really.
And yes, it would be quicker if you dropped down a gear or two and gave it a lot of 'wellie'.
