I am doing an informal survey for an upcoming article. Who has actually measured their 0-60 times? The old road tests said a Tiger with stock 260 would do 0-60 in about nine seconds. Has anybody beat

I did some research on this a few years back, the 0-60 times for tigers in the original road tests varied greatly. The MKI's averaged from 7.8sec-10sec. It sees the Uk road testers would generally g

I think period road test 0-60 times were really effected by the surface tested on. Lack of traction with the non posi rear and wheel hop must have been tough to manage, to say nothing of the oem tire

I'm sure the 0-60 times would vary depending on whether the Tiger had a wide (better) or close ratio trans. Since the original question asked about the Stock 260 it would assume the less desirable cl

As I remember it, the 260 Cobra did 0 to 60 in about 4.4 seconds with a 260 hp 260 cu.in engine. Your times are certainly in the ballpark for a good 250 hp at rear wheels car. Howard The Blues is th

yes, surprisingly (or perhaps not) once you have over 200 at the wheels it doesn't make too much difference getting more power. much more important are weight, gearing (including rev limit for avoidi

Wow. That's in the same territory as the 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP460 at 4.0 seconds. How can a Tiger get that much rubber on the road? My Merc E55 will smoke for 100 yards with traction control

Difference being, the Lambo is timed with an entirely accurate, dispassionate timing system while the Cobra was timed by an enthusiastic editor with a stop watch? ;-) In a message dated 9/13/2008 3:5

Back to the original road test times, they all ran with the stock tyres and no traction bars except for the test by Motor trend as their car had the traction bars. Of interest is how much of a diffe
