Between 25.0 and 2.0 seconds, I would bet.

Seriously, it depends on your ability to launch your vehicle and on what surface. Take the thing to the track.

GSL-SE's were only available as 84/85 models.

Cold Air Intake just means, "The Intake is getting Fresh Air"

Could be a Hood scoop,
Some Dryer hose acting as a snorkel,
Some kind of home made ducting, whatever.

As long as it dry, clean, and filtered - it's all good.
The cooler the better.

take it to a track and tell us what your time is. Or, just find a long stretch of empty road, mark off a quarter mile and get a stopwatch to get an approximate time.

Ehhhh...I guess "seven point something" seconds if all the planets are in line and it is'nt a Monday, and your tires are sticking like glue.
Put a perfectly tuned hi per carb on with perfect shifting and you could be 6.?
Waddaya want...it's a stock 12A. Find another 70 cid engine to pull that off and be geared for 135 top speed.

Rotaries are so ****** COOL!!!

By the way, I call roughly 8.5sec 0-100km/h. Stock was about 9-10.

6A wasn't a production engine Closest I can think of would wither be the NSU Spyder engine (~30ci rotary displacement/~60ci boinger displacement) or the Suzuki RE5 motorcycle engine (something around there as well?) I'm not too sure about the Norton motorcycle engines as far as size goes...

I think the Nortons were closer to 600cc, bigger than the NSU's and RE5's.
