There is something seriously wrong with your car (if those times are
correct).
At worst, 0-60 should be in the 10-11 second range . . .

Well, I tried it again today and didn't even tear up my freakin'
linkage. (If you'll remember, I thought I lost my tranny in the
beginning. That was back when I was young and naiveóóabout 2 weeks
ago.) On kinda wet roads here's how I did:
0-50 mph in 11 seconds
0-60 mph in 15 seconds
As I said the road was a bit wet, and I had a little tire spin in 1st,
maybe a whisker in 2nd. I can probably shave about a second off.
Dunno. How's this sound for a stock '86 8v? Do I have a ways to go?
(I'm sure my "technique" could use some improving.)
