UK & US Securities & Derivatives Trader on a retail desk. I'd rather be doing what I am doing than anything to do with fixed income.....thats all yours....I'm a huge seller!

The cars range on this desk, from an M5 to a Porsche, then from a Galaxy to an Impreza, then from a Jaguar to a Cayenne S. One of these guys has not only got a Caterham, he also has a Mustang!

Speaking of this does anyone have a definitive list of 0-100 times for a few of these cars, the S and a few competitors like the lardy 350Z

That is a more telling 'stat' if you are talking about straight line speed IMHO seeing as the S is relatively slow from start until VTEC kicks in

Yeh, I wouldn't mind knowing the stats on the 350z.

Nothing like a good futures trade in the morning Spuffington!

They have spent too much time playing top trumps as opposed to driving

i still like the look of the 350z

was actually trawling the GT4 anniversary model last night on autotrader. still quite pricey but it's got the same higher power engine as the new 06 car. 300ps iirc. ho hum.

Those stats are all theoretical.....

"ALL theory performance figures quoted on the car statistic lists are calculated using the Letstorquebhp.com formulas (calculator), none of them are from any given road test. All the figures are THEORY only and the aim of the site is for a fun comparison between all types of performance cars, standard or modified, and mainly in the UK, although some imports are covered."

Some real measured tests can be found at www.track-challenge.com
