Non SE vs SE performance

[pessling]

Just get a an SE with an accufab and that difference will be nothing if not the other way round.

This doesn't really address the SE Vs non SE question but I came across the attached in the mechanics manual.

Apparently you can do a driver performance slimming course.
0.05 secs for every stone you loose

Just enjoy the car

50-70 in 4th in 5.9 surely a mistake? my diesel ZT takes that long to do
50-70 in 5th,if this is a true figure how long does it take to do 50-70 in 5th?

Your diesel ZT can get from 50 to 70 in 5th quicker than it can do it in 4th
Me thinks you've either something wrong with your car or it ain't a standard ZT oil burner.

50-70 mph in 4th: ZT CDTi = 8.0 sec; ZT 131 CDTi = 6.8 sec; ZT 260 = 5.5 sec.

Ah...I didnt mention it doing 50-70 quicker in 5th than 4th,BUT it does 50 -70 in 5th as stated in 6secs, 50-70 in 4th is slightly quicker,the fact the diesel doesnt rev very high doesnt help in 4th,over 60 in 4th its just screaming to be changed up,nothing really special about mine,like most diesel ZT owners who read the forums you soon realise a few cheap mods release a lot more power,bigger air intake,egr bypass,better air filter and best of all roverrons tuning box,only 150-160bhp but almost as much torque as the 260 and 45mpg easy,still want a 260 though,just for the noise

So that begs the question what if I strip the car down to a bare shell and drivers seat?

Just how much weight could be removed?
what would that do to the 0-60 times and for that matter the MPG?

I've always liked the idea of that keith - a stipped out street racer. I'd do it if she didn't moan, but i just know she would.
Surely it would improve the mpg as well.
