Default WT Fiesta 0-100 times

how fast is your Fiesta to 100kmh
auto tests seem to show it about 9.5s to 100kmh
mine on a good day is 10.4s
thats riding the clutch heaps and still spinning slightly on take off, big chirp into second and shift as i hit the limiter
i was a little dissapointed but i think its the 205/40r17 tyres that are bigger in diameter than the stock 185/55r15's

Tyres are only 1.9% different. suggesting you are getting to 101.9Kms/h in 10.4's how are you timing your runs?
Wheels managed a 9.8 in an LX 5 door manual

Well I did it on a flat road with a 100km/h speed limit on a late night with a slight up hill near the end of the run about a year ago in what looks to be about 8 seconds. The nice cold temperature helps

i did 2 runs each way to work out the average and still got 10.44s, i was hoping to beat your huntley time one day, i even bought some 15in semi slicks for the next run.
i will fit the stock 15in conti's to see if it goes any better as they are smaller diameter.

Shouldn't be hard with a set of coilovers. I did it before I had them so the quick turn caught me out a bit..

Could have probably been even faster with a near empty tank

Yea that's true but it could also be with the seats, stereo and every other bit of trim out.

Heck even the doors.
