need to edit the video but got some rough times
0-60 13.68 0-65mph on speedeo to allow tolerance
1/4mile 19.88 77mph on speedeo terminal
my guess was
0-60 14secs
1/4mile 20secs at 77mph so Im happy with my estimates
book spec
0-60 11.5
1/4mile 18.5 73mph terminal
car suffered some clutch slip 2nd to 3rd.
Not to bad for a 22year old car :lol:
