But post April I agree with Longhorn :P

"I drove the same 86 the Aussie hoons pirouetted through a sharp turn. All I did was make the tires chirp. At a test drive, I like to return the car as I found it. It drove very nicely. It does not press you into the bucket seat with jet fighter g-forces. I am told it will do 230 km/h (143 mph) and will go 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 6 seconds.
Would I buy it?
Yes. "

0 to 62 MPH in 6.0 secs...0 to 60 will be even faster....but we will see...looks like this car has good gearing and light weight...We will see...
