Re: 87 16v Scirocco vs 82 Datson 280 Z turbo

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

I can offer only this:
1975 Datsun 280Z, 4 speed 0-60: 9.3 seconds
1987 Scirocco 16v 0-60: 7.7 seconds

I don't believe it, driving my brother's 280Z is like flying. Maybe his is
special or something, but my brother and I just can't figure where they got
that 9.3 second figure from. I need to borrow Tony's G-tech and see what the
REAL figure is!
