0 to 50 and 60 mph.



There is something seriously wrong with your car (if those times are
correct).

At worst, 0-60 should be in the 10-11 second range . . .

Well, I tried it again today and didn't even tear up my freakin'
linkage.  (If you'll remember, I thought I lost my tranny in the
beginning.  That was back when I was young and naiveóóabout 2 weeks
ago.)  On kinda wet roads here's how I did:

0-50 mph in 11 seconds

0-60 mph in 15 seconds

As I said the road was a bit wet, and I had a little tire spin in 1st,
maybe a whisker in 2nd.  I can probably shave about a second off. 
Dunno.  How's this sound for a stock '86 8v?  Do I have a ways to go? 
(I'm sure my "technique" could use some improving.)
