Not 300hp here, and it is funny looking. Not really all that impressive
performance at all. We had a 1988 Celica Alltrac that would have waxed
these specs. Probably fun to drive just the same. Would like to see the
lateral g forces with the all wheel drive. Track Performance:
0 - 60 Acceleration (sec): 6.3
1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 14.9@90.0
60 - 0 Braking (ft): 115
200 ft. Skidpad (g's): No Data
600 ft. Slalom (mph): 64.5
