It's the time it takes to accelerate between 4200rpm to 6500rpm in third gear using WOT on a flat road, usually run in both directions and then averaged. I'm learning fast (fats?). It's a good indication of performance and a bhp figure can be estimated from it using a FATS calculator (such as the VAST Performance one: http://www.vastperformance.com/faq.php) if the weight of the vehicle is known, hence David's request for some scales.

My FATS time was done last weekend and I got a 3.44 second time, but not sure of the weight.

HTH, and I'm new to it all too, so easy with the flames if I'm wrong! :D

I'll pop in as a reserve if required. May just attend anyway, and not RR. Either way, happy to do the right thing for the members :)

My suggestion is unlimited free champagne and a score of stunning 19 year old Swedish girls wearing nothing but filthy-slut lingerie. Can you arrange this please David? I don't mind chipping in another tenner or so if necessary ...
