Damn my lack of rear seats
PS
SORRY IF REPOST.
Bwaaahaahaaaaa, Heeeheeheee
Tell me it was a wind up!!!!
"I agree with your point, but the car is a little quicker than the standard SXi and so I felt the SRi badges were appropriate. It only carries 1 person, Me. It has no extra weight in the car, all glove compartments, cubby holes and the boot is empty. The rear exhaust may or may not add power. It has only ever run on Optimax, I know you get more boost out if this fuel on bigger engined cars but every little helps. The tyres are always inflated to 38 PSI to give extra grip and less tyre slouch. Often I put the rear seats flat, this reduces weight. (Like why you crawl flat across a frozen pond so as not to break the ice). I regularly drive with around £10 of fuel, again weight saving, and often I use engine cleaner in the fuel load to remove debris from the fuel injectors. The car is always clean improving aerodynamic progress. I have timed the 0 - 60 at 9.3 seconds, and this shaves a couple of seconds off the standard time. Hope this answers your question"
"The rear seat thing, It is rare that I fold them down, but it has to be said that when folded they remove a bit of weight. Vertical seats exert more downward force because the energy is focused on a smaller surface area. When horizontal, the weight is spread and so is less per Centimetre squared. "

Oh dear God. 
I don't think this guy passed GCSE physics!

Probably couldn't get beyond the plane/conveyor belt module.
You simply wouldn't believe it unless you had read it would you?
My initial thoughts were that it was a wind-up, but clearly it is not.
Apart from all the utter idiocy he is spouting, I particularly enjoyed the assertion that emptying the glove box, clearing the boot, pumping up the tyres, putting an SRi badge on it and folding the rear seats flat could shave two whole seconds off the 0-60 time.
Right. I am going to clear out my boot of all the crap I cart about, empty the ashtray (sweet wrappers only, but they must addsome weight), reduce the amount of windscreen cleaner in the resovoir (again, unnescessary weight), pump up my tyres to the point of exploding, take the CD cartridge out of the Multiplayer (again, a costly extravagance weight wise), remove my sunglasses from their little overhead holder, and get rid of those incredibly substantial floor mats.
Oh, and to further save weight I shall now drive everywhere naked. Clothes are a heavy extravagance.
I confidently expect my S-Type R to now do the 0-60 sprint in around 3 seconds.

What a numpty.
All that effort into "improving" his car, or building from scratch as he puts it ( strange it looks like every other tossing corsa on the road ) and despite his weight saving ethics, it looks to me like he has steel wheels and hubcaps on the car...
Darwin is shuddering as we speak.
