I have been looking at the way Autocar carry out their tests and I have to say that my figures are not in keeping with there tests. However my figures should go down as they appear to record there increments from a flying value where as I misunderstood in assuming a constant value at the start time.
I will update the new values soon.

Firstly, Brian (and Sean Hyland) recommend NON use of the traction control as there have been instances of exploding engines due to the basic cutting of fuel supply is how it operates. Secondly, there is so much more than just the figures when it comes to the Kenne Bell Supercharger-like doing @@mph and accelerating away to... well whatever speed to leave a "fast" Corsa for dead! Oh and lastly, had the chance to go out in the Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S DE51RED as of Clarkson fame and yeah, it's fast, but unpleasant. THe SC whine is overpowering and you can't even hear the engine, completely different to the nice sound of our Supercharged cars.
good to hear the MG beats a Vauxhall (again) John!
