If anyone cares to check it out, my dad's latest Morgan +8 Corvette conversion (aka The Bullet) has been test driven and mentioned in the April 08 R & T.
The magazine thoroughly tested the car independently and
reported the following figures;

0-10 mph 0.4 second
0-20 mph 1.0
0-30 mph 1.7
0-40 mph 2.3
0-50 mph 2.9
0-60 mph 3.6
0-70 mph 4.8
0-80 mph 5.5
0-90 mph 6.3
0-100 mph 7.9
0-110 mph 9.0
0-120 mph 10.2
0-130 mph 12.6

0-100 ft 2.7
0-500 ft 6.6
0-900 ft 9.3
0-1320 ft 11.7 sec @ 123.2 mph

Curb weight: 2320 lbs.

Just wanted to give props to my dad, who works hard to stay in the Morgan biz, despite all obstacles.

I've heard nothing but compliments about the conversion, and the installation is exceptionally clean -- Bill drove (?) one from California to the Washington DC MOG a couple years back.

Anyone who is a Morgan enthusiast with a hankering for murderous horsepower really should check it out.

Come to think of it, I'd love to see a "Top Gear" test drive by "the Hamster".....

I caught the article as well. Fantastic to see folks still working to keep cars like that coming to the USA -- even if can't afford them, I'm still glad they're here.

It's a really nice setup. Good effort.
