I remember that article, but I thought it was a 60s Porche 911 that was
beat! :)

Subject: Re: [Spridgets] 1500 Midget tune up and interesting timing
procedure!
Remember Adrian,
Midgets were never very quick to begin with. IIRC 1500 0-60 times were
in the
14-15 sec range.
Almost all cars, even econboxes are much quicker nowadays.
Grassroots Motorsports did a track test with a vintage racecar and a new
Minivan
a couple years ago. The Minivan was quicker around a road course by
several
seconds!

Nothing
wrong with that but she was driving a big SUV at the time. Which got me
thinking that I need to tune up this MG in case I need to get out of her
way
in a hurry one day. This MG has got zero acceleration. Sure, you can get
up
to 70 mph no problem, but it takes a while.

the hoof
down, nothing happens except a leisurely increase in speed. I mean, at
least
my Toyota makes a big screaming noise when I do that.
