na not at all in this case but i do know what you mean pal....the short ratio box i fitted helps overcome the drag problem and the masses of torque i have help too! thats why at several drag strips (1/4 mile) i get over 90 mph and just beat the likes of a focus st (15.99 is an average time for me)and the focus has more power than a mx5 and less drag than the van

Yeh, the transit won, but only up to about 70, any faster and the aerodynamics of the van will become too great and slow the acceleration down. Over the quarter I reckon the mx5 would win.

hi bud, the van actually outruns the mazda up to 110 mph! and also matched a standard focus st on the 1/4 last year...the vans aerodynamics are poor but the shortend gearbox makes up for that and helps with the acceleration

Not too bad for a Transit, but i would have thought it would have killed the MX5 a little more with all that power and torque. For a sports car MX5's are dissapointingly slow after all. What's the weight of the this model of transit when it's standard?

[nitrotransitman]

that run was without nitros on so it only just beat the mazda....and had crappy rubber(now on 18" pirelli)
