Doesn't anyone think people buy the cars they do simply because they like the car? Whatever the brand, I have never meet anyone that said the hated the car but bought it because they love the brand and image I mean, I like Honda but I wouldn't but an Insight. I like Toyota but I wouldn't buy an Echo. People may gravitate toward one brand or another because of the brand name, but in the end they buy the car because they like it, and not just because of the badge.

Here's that video:

From the time the speedo moves till 60 is 4.2s, to 100mph is 9.4s. Second run from a roll does 5mph-100mph in 9 seconds.

Is that MPH or KPH...?

picus

mph.

0-100kph in 9 seconds would be pretty bad! heh.

5.4 to 60 and 12.8 to 100mph.
I'm real big on getting as many results from as many mags as possible so we can be as fair as possible.

Ya, those are pretty inline for stock speeds. Looks like it'll do anywhere from high 4's to low 5's to 60, and mid to high 12's to 100mph. The vid I posted was a modded car; just to show what some light modding can do.

on a turbo car... little mods make a big difference... i think stock on celica alltrac did around 15.2 ~15.7 quarter mile.. with front mount intercooler, 3" DP, 3" exhaust, piggy back system, up the boost with stock internals... i forgot if the guy had to change the injectors... you can run flat 13s... with 4 cylinder car...

turbo car have an advantage when it comes to mods....

Yes, the Supra comes to mind as well. BPU upgrades for 2k=400 to the wheels
Let us not even talk single turbo

Just saw one today. This is the first time in my life I actually want a bimmer. Never was a fan but this one got me. Besides, turbo cars have a special spot in my heart.

Props to BMW on this great-looking car.
