Since getting the ZS I've had a feeling that it's a little quicker then the 8.5 seconds to 60 would suggest so today I gave it a run with the drag times app, the result is............
0-60 in 7.3 seconds!!!
I wan't 100% sure that the app was accurate so I took our Astra out to compare. The Astra has 200bhp and should be able to hit 60 in just under 7 seconds
The Astra actually did slightly worse then expected however it was scrabbling for grip more then the MG. Interestingly though the Astra was then a lot quicker as soon as it got up to speed however still really impressed that the MG is as quick as it is, which begs the question, why do MG quote a figure that's so much slower then it can actually do?
