Yeah, I'd think I'd know how fast my car is I've timed it.

B$%#$%T! What with, A stopwatch? How bout A-A timing or a Corvit or a G-TECH like all the pro's... Here's a better one bring it to Eastern Creek, Wakefield or Oran, Next Supersprint.. Because 8 sec is bloody fast, fast enough to give a VTI-R (Civic,Prelude or Integra) a run and there will be plenty at the Supersprint if Honda CC turn up. If it does 8 sec to 0-100, well you'd be a front runner, You'd flog my new company car, Ford BA UTE for sure and give my Audi a Good Run too... Hang on, Made be my Rally Car as well? How do you go compared to a REX? How does the New Celica go against you? You'd be Choking on there fumes! 8 sec, Factory they quoted 9.8 Sec, the Same figure for the Twin Cam Corolla of the Same era, both were ahead of there times...

Tip for the guy with the 162, at the start, redline it and drop the clutch hope you didn't want the rubbers on the front

And if this is how you achieved your 8 sec, you have a lot to learn about driving, because it is how you go backwards in hurry, sitting there spinning your wheel, creating a heap of smoke, and slowly crawling to speed. Fine for AWD's, not so for 2wd, best way to lauch is to sit with you clutch slight dis-enaged ie friction point, foot on the brake and throttle at same time (Heel-toe), about 3k-4k rev's, gren comes up, foot off brake, pop clutch and away you go Shocked
