8.6 Seconds!!!!! Wtf!!!!

Hey guys, check this site out: www.car-stats.com.

Their stats are insanely wrong. Their figures for a NA '90 GTU is -60 in 8.6!!!! I am pretty sure that car is in the 7.7 range, right? All their figure for NA's are really high (the TII ones seem accurate). If anyone has accurate measurements or stats send them to them, this is disgraceful.

My friends won't believe me when I say my car is faster than 8.6 because of this stupid site. Ridiculous!

8.6 for a 90 N/A seems right.

An 88GXL posted a 8.5 . Yay go Series 4!!!

Just mod your car and you'll easily drop to the low 7/high 6 range to 60 with not much money invested.

those numbers are not manufacturer quoted ones...its generated by people input. They have a submission page on there somewhere.

That 8.6 number sounds about right for a NA. Usually 7.9 to 8.6 is fairly normal depending on options. The series 5 cars are pretty heavy (150 to 200 lbs more), and really not much quicker than the series 4 cars with 14 less HP.

The 86-87 sport and the 89-90 GTUs were the fastest NA cars, because they were the lightest.

You actually KNOW someone with an Infini IV? Please tell us stories.

And yeah, the lbs/hp actually comes slightly better off for series 4

so you think its impossible for a T2 to get 0-60 in the 5sec range?

i have a magazine review of a STOCK 89 T2 getting 5.9 0-60...and the infiniIV has more hp

no, i mean 5.9 for a stock 89 200hp T2...not the infini

the infini review i have they did the 0-60 in 7 seconds, and 1/4 in 14.9. but they also noted that their times were greatly hindered due to their unfamiliarity with the right hand drive set up. but with 15 more hp, less weight, and the right driver it should in logic get a better time than a stock series V TII.

intresting how they were running 87 octane as well, I am sure that hindered the accelleration with the timing retarded.
