Hi Thom,
Thanks for giving the 0-60 a try - must be nice to know
your car meets manual specs. 15 years later. I'll have to
time mine again (perhaps after a longer warmup too) and then
compare after oil and ATF changes - will let you know how it
comes out. Interestingly, I did'nt seem proportionaly that
far behind the published curve for acceleration all the way
to 100 - and acceleration between 60 and 100 seemed very
good (compared to that a the low end...).
- Tim
