Tim,
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 get a better 0-60 that the USA..
but would also always fall short of 120mph top speeds. The USA would often
have a slower 0-60, but a 120+ top speed. This might be to do with holding
revs longer in USA.. or more gentle take offs in the UK..
either way i think a stock tiger even on the old tyres should have beaten
9sec.. and definatly should have beaten the 10sec some testers got.
Gran a brroklands gold portfolio book.. it has many of the period road tests
from both sides of the pond.
