seems somewhat unlikely that a quicksilver would hit 60 in 8.3 seconds..

my car does 2 different 0-60 times.
it can do a 3and a bit second 0-60
and also a 25secod 0-60
the 3sec is when i'm counting
and 25 is when my mate counts as fast as he can.

For redline I managed a 5.38 0-60, without a slip diff.
For comparison on the same day the Van (with a slip diff) did a 5.3, and Chris_S's 12.3 sec Nova did a 5.4.
Fook knows how I did my time LOL
