7.6 for 0-100 is conservative. A time set with not a complete high rev clutch dump launch.

Depending on launch 0-100 can vary.

0-100kmh in aust =. 0-60mph in the u.s. (60mph = 97kmh)

The change into 3rd gear is right at that point between 96-99kmh I think.

Most (some ?) drivers don't know how to launch effectively. High rev Too much wheel spin or low rev, not enough wheel spin,bog down. Got to find that balance.

I'm not even going to think about fuel consumption. I don't speed much, but I'm a lead foot. I can't wait to see what the fuel consumption is.
