« on: 08 January 2004, 16:00 »
Dont want a long debate just the honest figures

so whats the performance of a...

8v 0-60 and its top speed
16v 0-60 and its top speed

oh and both models are a 3 door as apparently this affects it according to top gear magazine???

factory figures for the 16v are 139bhp, 0-60 in 7.9s & top speed of 125mph

those these are with a passenger and 1/2 tank of fuel

u can get it down to about 7.5 and top speed stays the same as they have the aerodynamics of a brick
