How times have changed. Back then, if you wanted to do 0-60mph in less than 3 seconds, you needed a bespoke twin-engined 4WD Caterham-esque car, the right weather, the right surface and everything needed to go perfect. Today, you get into a car like the Porsche Turbo S, press the Launch control button and set off. And it'll do that anywhere, every time.

My 20 yr old kawasaki zx9r does it in 3 secs, and holds the world record of being the first off the shelf road going vehicle to crack the standing quarter mile in under 10 secs...equating to 0 to 140mph in 10 secs. I paid 2000 pounds for it 3 yrs ago, and has never missed a beat in 30,000 miles. Beaten comprehensively now by modern bikes.

This clip is older than Tiff.

🔵 Just after (4:04) you could hear him hit the rev limiter twice, and @(5:03) you could see the front wheels spinning MUCH faster than the rear, that discrepancy is probably what fatigued the rod, it appears to me that the slower turning rear wheels were holding everything back! shouldn't the front and rear Wheels be synchronized? I think the car could have done better with someone who was more intimately familiar with the car over a greater period of time, as I'm not sure how long this fellow spent with it before going for the record, he didn't seem to have much finesse with it, and was more ham-handedly brutal with it more than anything else, I'm not quite sure if that was the proper way to handle it.
