So, what's up with Buffalo dyno days?



Josh,
         By the way, I plugged your chart into my little application to 
measure some stuff:

0-60            5.17s
0-100           11.19s
1/4             13.68 @ 111.9 mph
Top Speed       157mph

Warning:  I recommend never, EVER trying to attain that speed in a 
Scirocco.  :)

Jason
