Re: 8.3?!?!?! 850 1995

Agreed on all points. I just think you were a little too conservative with your numbers. Are you sure the speedo was calibrated correctly?

I mean, the 850 GLT as tested by Car and Driver in the mid nineties ran consistent 8.3 throughout its test.

Like I said, I'll get my car timed some time this summer. I still have another month to go before strapping on all the upgrades. Then I have to get use to the increase in power to find good launch techniques again. I figure it'll be atleast May to June before the car is running consistently, and another month to perfect my technique.

I guess we'll see then.
