    Default Zero-60?

    Just curious if any of you guys have tried doing your own 0-60 test? I tried with my buddy in the passenger seat a few months ago, using the OBC timer. The first time I got a mega awesome launch, but it threw him back in the seat so he missed the start button. Second time was a decent launch, I think OBC read like 7.6sec.

    Mine is a little under 8. Keep in mind that these cars arent really built for 0-60 runs.

    Default Well **** the answer is simple.

    Slow.

    But what the test of time from 1989-2006...? Not many automobiles can endure that.
