V8Q 0-60 times

[The Quattro King]

FYI, My seat of the pants method of testing gets a 0-60 time of about 6.4 or
so.  However, this car has an exhaust system and K & N filter.  Top speed on
flat found was 145 for me but I ran out of room and car was still pulling
VERY hard.  I imagine I could hit close to 157 or 160 if it was given the
room.


Oh, fun fun fun!!!
