**stop watch times and Gteck Performance meter results
Performed with 20G turbo and new head modifications:
*boost @ 20 psi
*101 octane unleaded gas

*0-60 = 3.4 seconds
*0-100= 8.3 seconds
*0-150= 20 seconds
*0-170= 30 seconds approximately.


*Top Speed= 175 mph @7400 rpm...The speedometer stops @ 170 mph and I burried the needle. the car accelerates to that speed with authority, feels rock solid, and holds its line perfectly.

Mods:

This is one of the fastest and cleanest sleepers in California. Very unique. On 92 octane pump gas @ 17-19psi of boost, the car runs 12.1-12.3 quarter miles @ 115 mph producing approximately 400 hp. It will run consistent 11's in the quarter mile at speeds close to 120 mph when using race gas @ 22-24 psi of boost, which produces close to 475 hp. Excellent condition in and out. You have to see to appreciate the great condition.
