Crap and Drivel (tm) also got 6.4 seconds out of the Integra.  go
drive that car sometime and see how bogus the number is.  i won't get
into why i think it is so far off.  i have driven the 325i quite a bit
and i can say with quite a bit of certainty that the corrado vr6 will
blow it into the weeds, whatever number that C&D says it will do from
0-60.  in short, don't bet your house on Crap and Drivel(tm).

the 325i will be faster than the 90, i agree. if the 90Q has an
advantage in slick conditions some of that is nullified by the
servotronic steering.  i would put my money on the 325i.
