Mine is about 6 seconds and 18 seconds to 100.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

My carbed Indy was 6 seconds.

Yep, I reckon my carbed one was about 6 as well.
Oh, seen as Chris is posting on here - it was 4.5 really (just like the magic weight figures).

Been 105 mph in mine. Bike Carbs 2.0 ltr pinto.
Was only wearing Protective goggles and my eyes wear being forced shut by the wind , so on the side of caution (couldn,t see) i slowed down.
0-60 not tested.
Just ordered a wind deflector from Mac#1, so hopefully things will get better.
Cheers

Around 6-ish to 60 for a standard pinto sounds about right. Will depend on a lot of factors though - weight, traction, gearing, practice, and how
mechanically unsympathetic you are prepared to be ...
Top speed depends on wind resistance, which pretty much comes down to windscreen or aero-screen. I saw the wrong side of 100mph in mine with a
windscreen, but the buffeting was horrible - much above 80ish wasn't fun for any length of time.
Cheers

I think I hit about 110mph on the way back from Donny once on the M1, then noticed Jon Ison's GT1 up my bottom so had to move over quickly and
then watch him disapear.

ive been in a westy with a 2.1 pinto on twin 45's,tuned and balanced and it got to 145mph before the road started to run out,had a quaife box in
it as well, all i had on was sunglasses and i had to hold them on my face past 100mph. god it was scary!
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

What kind of power does that engine run?

i took a guess (friend counted with phone stopwatch so 2 up) at mine doing 60 in around 5-6 seconds, and i got it to 110 before i thought ill slow
down now!

6secs is achievable with std Pinto injection, std diff and gearbox.
Ive recorded 6secs in mine using DD2 but very difficult to repeat (launch control etc).
2.1 with 3.62 diff etc and some practice should be sub 5.5. As said for an old heavy engine in a car built to a budget its good value, however there
is no getting away from it that its no match for the more expensive modern engines and becs etc. Still good fun.
Ref top end, cant comment. Each time ive seen the 100 show up on the screen (track use) ive had a magnet detach itself!!! I would have thought 110 is
achievable quite easily but its all down to drivetrain choices.

i have clocked 130 on a race track with a bog standard pinto engine
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, Chardonnay in one hand, Tequila in the other, body bearing battle scars and totally worn out, screaming- WOO HOO!! What a Ride!

I managed 120 with a Pinto the other day
(Of course it was in the boot of my Tin top at the time - does that count ?)
