What are you expecting to get out of the car?

Even in best form with European spec and 150bhp, the
car did 0-60mph in about 8.5 seconds, compared to the
US version which went to 60mph in about 11 seconds.

The car is never going to pull like a small block V8. 
Trust me.  I also have a '91 Vette convertible that
goes to 60mph in about 5.5 seconds.

Thanks,

Bob
