PERFORMANCE: STRAIGHT LINE
* 0-60: Low 5's @ 7psi (Cartech Spec - verified by a street
contest or two)
* 40-70 (3rd gear): 3.9 sec @ 6psi, and 3.6 sec at 9psi
(observed).
* 1/4 mile: 13.5 consistently observed with experienced driver,
non-ported engine, and broken LSD. Driver said car would not
hook up, and estimated "the 12s" if the LSD was fixed.
PERFORMANCE: TOP SPEED
* However fast the thing goes before a.) the engine grenades from
overboost or b.) the aerodynamics of the car take on the
characteristics of a hovercraft.
PERFORMANCE: LATERAL
* Reasonable: Car took 1st place last year in "D-Modified" class
for the Washington area autocross series, but is not as fast as
the quickest (and best driven) cars running in "Stock" and
"Street Prepared" classes. I can generally run with "Super
Stock" 3rd gens if they have average drivers, but can't keep up
with the two national class 3rd gen drivers in the area.
