From that Car and Driver link...

Standing 1/4-mile: 17.8–18.1 sec

Really? This car seems quicker than that, or at least to me it does. Can anyone disprove this?

Thanks Thirty Nine! Glad we got this one debunked.

I could imagine that's pretty close to the actual numbers. Then again, Car & Driver really sucks at their 1/4-Mile runs. On a positive note, I shifted hard and high into second gear the other day and chirped the tires.

Good research Thirty-Nine. Anyway, it is good to be able to see the pictures.

I have trouble not chirping the tires... although I have 14" wheels... which makes it easier.

I also have the 14's still, and it does make it pretty easy to spin.

I chirp my tires here and there with 15"s. I try not to rev it high enough to chirp because I'm trying to make each gas tank last forever!
