i doubt a 5 sec 0-60 on that spec mate. id say more like 6 secs. iirc to hit 5 secs you need a quaife gear set opr 200bhp roughly. but hey, you never know

I don't really think timing it off your stop watch is a valid way to time your 0-60 !!

yer ive seen it, it does seem quick. im not doubtin yer btw. i remember reading a corsasport group thrash in fast car years ago, and the only car close to 5 secs was one with a sbd 232 kit and a 6 spd quaife kit. and he hit 5.18 secs

0-60 times are for young boys. they are irrelevant. 50-70 or 1/4 mile times are far better

gm actually raised the gearing on the mk2 astra 16v so the 0-60times were improved by not needing to change into third, for marketing reasons
